Ahead of the 1991 Tour, defending champion Greg LeMond (C.A 1991) was considered the favourite to capture a fourth Tour victory, and third in a row.Bierley Stephen LeMond IV is Ready to Go on the Road https://www.newspapers.com/image/260270659/ 11 November 2020 The Guardian 6 July 1991 The Guardian's Stephen Bierley wrote that "it is excruciatingly difficult to make out a strong case for the Californian not to finish first in Paris". As had become the norm for LeMond, his early season results had been disappointing, since he chose to use those races as preparation for the Tour instead of trying to be competitive. He had dropped out of the Giro d'Italia and then finished 24th at the Tour de Suisse, one of the build-up races for the Tour de France.Top Contenders in Tour de France https://www.newspapers.com/image/664143459/ 11 November 2020 The Bangor Daily News Associated Press 6 July 1991 Lyon Gianni Bugno (Chateau d'Ax 1991 yes) was listed by The Guardian as LeMond's "greatest threat". Winner of the 1990 Giro d'Italia, he had finished the Italian Grand Tour fourth this year. In the 1990 Tour de France, he had finished seventh overall and won two stages, including one to the ski resort of Alpe d'Huez. The third major name to be considered a favourite was Erik Breukink (PDM 1991), third overall the year before. His strong abilities in individual time trials were counted as an advantage, having won one of them in the previous year's Tour. However, his tendency to experience one day of bad form in every Tour he had competed in so far was considered to be the major weakness he had to overcome. The previous year's runner-up, Claudio Chiappucci (CAR 1991), was also ranked among the contenders. Since his breakthrough performance in 1990, he had won the Milan–San Remo one-day race and finished second at the Giro d'Italia. In addition to LeMond, three more former winners started the 1991 Tour: Pedro Delgado (MOV 1991), the winner in 1988, had finished fourth in 1990, but commentators suspected that he might be past his prime. Laurent Fignon (CAS 1991), who had won the race in 1983 and 1984, had, like LeMond, retired from the Giro d'Italia and experienced an early season without major results. However, The Guardian described him as "extremely fit and unusually relaxed". Stephen Roche (Tonton Tapis–GB), winner in 1987, had won the Critérium International earlier in the season, but having finished the Tour in 1990 only 44th, was considered to mainly compete for stage wins. Other names listed as possible contenders for overall victory were Steve Bauer and Andrew Hampsten of MOT 1991, Raúl Alcalá (PDM 1991 yes), Gert-Jan Theunisse (TVM 1991), Steven Rooks (RAB 1991), Charly Mottet (RMO 1991), and Jean-François Bernard (MOV 1991 yes). Bookmaker William Hill listed LeMond at 2-1 odds, followed by Bugno at 7–2, Breukink and Chiappucci at 6–1, and Delgado at 10–1. Olaf Ludwig (PSC 1991), who had won the points classification the year before, was again considered the favourite for it going into the 1991 Tour.

LeMond finished with the third-best time.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 In the first stage, a group of eleven cyclists escaped, including some cyclists aiming for the overall win: LeMond, Breukink, Rolf Sørensen and Kelly. Marie was not in this group, and thanks to time bonuses LeMond became the race leader. Later that day, the team time trial (stage 2) was run, won by Sørensen's team, and Sørensen became the new leader of the general classification.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 Sørensen kept the lead for a few stages, but in the fifth stage he fell (crashing into a traffic island)Cossins Best Sidwells Griffith 2013 180–181 and broke his clavicle.

His margin to the rest was big enough to put him back in the top position of the general classification.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 The time trial in stage eight was won by Miguel Induráin, with LeMond in second place, only eight seconds slower. This was enough to make LeMond the new leader, with Breukink in second place.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 Stage 9 saw the first Brazilian, Mauro Ribeiro, to win a stage at the Tour de France.Cossins Best Sidwells Griffith 2013 180–181 Before the tenth stage, two cyclists from PDM gave up. During that stage, two more gave up, and one came in late. The team revealed that the remaining four cyclists (including Breukink, Kelly and Alcalá, ranked in the top ten of the general classification) were also sick, and the next morning the entire team abandoned. There were rumours that a doping program had gone wrong, but no official penalties were given.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 After the eleventh stage, there was a rest day, on which the cyclists were transferred from Nantes to Pau, by airplane. Urs Zimmermann had a fear of flying, so he refused to use the airplane. The jury then disqualified him, but after the other cyclists protested, he was allowed to use other means of transportation.http://www.cyclingrevealed.com/timeline/Race%20Snippets/TdF/TdF1991.html The Arrival of the Indurain Era Barry Boyce 2012 5 April 2013 Cycling revealed thumb|left|upright|General classification winner Miguel Induráin with the trophy on a plane back to Spain.|alt=A man sitting in a blue seat, holding a trophy and a magazine The Tour entered the Pyrenees in the twelfth stage. A group escaped with some strong outsiders: Luc Leblanc, Charly Mottet and Pascal Richard. LeMond was unable to organise the chase, so the group stayed away until the finish. Mottet won the stage, and Leblanc became the new leader in the general classification, with LeMond now in second place.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 The thirteenth stage included even more climbs than the twelfth stage. LeMond escaped on the bottom of the Tourmalet, but Indurain chased him and reached him, taking other cyclists with him. Near the top of the Tourmalet, LeMond was unable to follow, and lost contact with the others. After the top, LeMond was able to get back on the descent, but in the meantime Indurain had escaped. LeMond tried to get back to Indurain, but was unable to do so. When they reached the start of the climb of the Col d'Aspin, LeMond was within sight of Indurain, but on the climb Indurain increased the distance. Claudio Chiappucci had escaped from the chasing group, and was getting close to Indurain. When Indurain heard this, he waited for Chiappucci; they then worked together to get away from LeMond. Chiappucci and Indurain stayed away until the finish; Chiappucci won the stage and Indurain became the new leader. LeMond finished that stage in ninth place, losing more than seven minutes.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 The next three stages were relatively flat, and normally no important changes in the general classification are expected. But LeMond did everything he could to win back time, and escaped on the sixteenth stage; finishing in second place, he won back almost half a minute.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 The seventeenth stage was in the Alps, with an uphill finish on l'Alpe d'Huez. Gianni Bugno won, closely followed by Indurain. LeMond lost two more minutes this stage.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 The eighteenth stage was the last mountainous stage, and in this stage LeMond lost almost seven minutes. Indurain was leading the race, three minutes before Gianni Bugno. Because a time trial, Indurain's specialty, was the last serious obstacle in the race, Indurain was almost sure of the victory. And indeed, Indurain won that time trial, so he won the Tour de France of 1991.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 In the last stage, there was a crash on the Champs-Élysées, just before the finish, after Djamolidine Abdoujaparov, sprinting for the stage victory, hit a barrier. Abdoujaparov was leading the points classification, but had to finish the stage to win this classification. After fifteen minutes, he was able to get up and walk his bicycle across the finish line.McGann McGann 2008 198–203 Classification leadership and minor prizes There were several classifications in the 1991 Tour de France.Nauright Parrish 2012 452–455 The most important was the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. The cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey; the winner of this classification is considered the winner of the Tour.Nauright Parrish 2012 452–453 Additionally, there was a points classification, which awarded a green jersey. In the points classification, cyclists got points for finishing among the best in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and was identified with a green jersey.Nauright Parrish 2012 453–454 There was also a mountains classification. The organisation had categorised some climbs as either hors catégorie, first, second, third, or fourth-category; points for this classification were won by the first cyclists that reached the top of these climbs first, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and wore a white jersey with red polka dots.Nauright Parrish 2012 454 The fourth individual classification was the young rider classification, which was not marked by a jersey in 1991. This was decided the same way as the general classification, but only riders under 26 years were eligible.Nauright Parrish 2012 454–455 For the team classification, the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added; the leading team was the team with the lowest total time. The leaders of the team classification had previously worn yellow caps, but this was abandoned after the 1990 Tour.Nauright Parrish 2012 455 In addition, there was a combativity award given after each mass-start stage to the cyclist considered most combative. The decision was made by a jury composed of journalists who gave points. The cyclist with the most points from votes in all stages led the combativity classification.van den Akker 2018 211–216 Claudio Chiappucci won this classification, and was given overall the super-combativity award.Augendre 2016 82 The Souvenir Henri Desgrange was given in honour of Tour founder Henri Desgrange to the first rider to pass the summit of the Col du Tourmalet on stage 13.
