I received the following from Martin Appel, Munich, which provides some more details about Rudi Altig's palmares. Angel Garcia Long Valley, NJ
Rudi Altig was throughout his carrer very successful and has really impressive palmares. He was more a sprinter/rolleur type of rider so he never was a contender for the yellow jersey (although he wore it for 15 days) but he won the Vuelta, the TdFs green jersey, Milan-San Remo, Ronde van Flandern, numerous stages in the TdF and the Giro, and was world champion in 1966.
