Especially the riders with the longst lifespan may contain errors. I entered Monge's age after I found this in a source, but this source has since disappeared.
José Riestra is confirmed: there are newspaper articles of him celebrating his 105th birthday.
Emile Brichard also really reached this age. He received attention in 2004 just before his death. He started in the Tour of 1926, but abandoned during the first stage.
Edoardo Bardelli started in the Giro of 1913, aged only 17. He finished the first stage, but did not finish the second stage. He served in the army during the first World War, and died aged 19.
