Major wins
Tour de France, 1 stage

In Stage 19 of the 1997 Tour de France, Traversoni finished third, 26 seconds behind Bart Voskamp and Jens Heppner. However, both Voskamp and Heppner were disqualified for bumping shoulders some 50 yards from the finish. A surprised Traversoni was thus classified as the winner of the stage, which would be his only stage win in the Tour de France.

gollark: I think Dragon sounds better than Turtlegistics myself.
gollark: What?
gollark: It has nicer features and some worse ones: bugginess, WIP autocrafting (mostly works, though), pluggableish backends (so you could theoretically implement "send over drone" as a storage backend), introspection module support (items direct to inventory), no GUI (unless <@307926450059870208> got that sorted), and a cooler name.
gollark: It's my client/server storage solution.
gollark: You could also use Dragon.
