It is clear that the Tour de France is won in the mountains. (On a flat stage there usually are mass finishes, with the winner not able to make up much time.) Hence the overall winner should also be a reasonably good climber.
What was the lowest placing in the climber competition of any winner of the Tour de France Yellow Jersey?
The official Best Climber Competition started in 1933. There was an unofficial ranking from 1905 to 1932 by the magazine Auto, but I couln't find these data.
In 1966, Lucien Aimar (France) didn't even make it to the Best Climber Classification, scoring 0 points.
In 1987, Stephen Roche (Ireland) also scored 0 points.
