Erik Zabel holds the title for most wins in the points classification (6).
Richard Virenque holds the title for the most wins in the King of the Mountains competition (7).
Eddy Merckx holds the record for most Tour de France stage wins (34).
Lance Armstrong held the title for most wins as overall leader (7), but had them taken away as it was discovered that he had been using doping at the time.
