"Spread eagle all over the Pyrenees"
Anyone else catch that?

This footage is remarkable for a few points, one to marvel at the beautiful pedalling action of Roche, and also to note that many of the team leaders themselves in those days had to do the work of pulling back breakaways in the mountains, unlike stages in the modern tours, especially during Armstrong's 7 tour wins.

nice one.
Delgado would have won the tour if he didnt waste his energy on a sprint for 5th ;)

How on earth was Jeff Bernard almost 6 minutes down on Mottet at that point ! He really should have won the tour that year.

All the GC contenders were, because Mottet was in the break on the stage to Stuttgart that was 'allowed' to finish 5 mins up on the peloton.

Thanks, yes, finally figured it out looking at the results on memoire du cyclisme.
Delgado gained 10 seconds on the field. Weird, remember watching that TdF and even saw it in Strasbourg, but don't remember much apart from the Ventoux TT, the last TT and that stage where a guy took the wrong turn (Delion ? Can't find it now, maybe another tour). Without the time lost on the puncture and mistake made after that (Fignon talks about it in his book), Jeff would likely have won though.

I had to check on memoire du cyclisme to be honest! I had forgotten that break had taken that much time.
I was lucky enough to be at the 87 Tour, the first time I went. I saw the Alpe d'Huez, La Plagne and Morzine stages. It was the next year that Bouvatier and Millar went the wrong way, I was there too. I have posted a video on here with that on.
