Olano is the only man to have won gold in both: RR 1995; TT 1998.

But I guess that some gifts were exchanged in 1995 since as you say Olano won gold in the RR and Indurain silver, while Indurain won gold in the TT and Olano silver.

Yes, surprisingly a long time. The last Dutchman was Joop Zoetemelk, 1985.
