“My fifth victory by Bernard Hinault” over a picture of a battered but grimly determined Yellow Jersey on a mountain stage is how the “Miroir du Cyclisme” journalists captured the essence of the Tour that year.

The bland results - Lemond 2nd at 1:42, Roche 3rd at 4:29 then Kelly, Anderson, Delgado and Herrera - give no real clue to what had happened over the previous three weeks. More soon...
