In the 25 editions of the Tour to complete since Hinault
won in 1985 there have been only 4 riders not from the US
or Spain to win.

US
Lemond (3)
LANCE (7)

Spain
Delgado (1)
Indurain (5)
Pereiro (1)
Sastre (1)
Contador (3)

Ireland
Roche (1)

Denmark
Riis (1)

Germany
Ullrich (1)

Italy
Pantani (1)

In that period the only American or Spanish riders to
take 2nd were Delgado (1987), and Beloki (2002). The
list of also rans is more geographically diverse:

France (Virenque, Fignon, Hinault)
Holland (Rooks)
Italy (Chiappucci, Bugno, Basso)
Switzerland (Rominger, Zülle)
Latvia (Ugrumov)
Germany (Ullrich, Klöden)
Australia (Evans)
Luxembourg (A. Schleck)

Smart Mouth,

Be sure to come back in here and retabulate that little list of yours
after Lance's trial is over and after he's been stripped of some of
those Tour wins.

Thanks,
