He was initially reluctant to start, but convinced by his team to do so after a strong performance during the time trial at the Olympic Games in Atlanta. However, Indurain would eventually abandon the race, which would prove to be the last of his career, on stage 13 while lying in third place overall, having been dropped by the rest of the race favourites on the first-category climb of the Fito pass.Cossins Peter Vuelta a Espana iconic stages: Indurain quits the Vuelta and racing http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/vuelta-a-espana-iconic-stages-indurain-quits-the-vuelta-and-racing/ cyclingnews.com 27 April 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20170427121150/http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/vuelta-a-espana-iconic-stages-indurain-quits-the-vuelta-and-racing/ 27 April 2017 24 August 2014 deadCiclismo La Vuelta 96 - Look Clasificaciones http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1996/09/30/MD19960930-049.pdf El Mundo Deportivo 30 September 1996 49 https://web.archive.org/web/20211130213736/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1996/09/30/MD19960930-049.pdf 30 November 2021 liveCiclismo La Vuelta 96 - Puedo ganar el Tour http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1996/09/30/MD19960930-048.pdf El Mundo Deportivo 30 September 1996 48 https://web.archive.org/web/20210118013304/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1996/09/30/MD19960930-048.pdf 18 January 2021 live Teams and riders List of teams and cyclists in the 1996 Vuelta a España Route +List of stageshttps://www.procyclingstats.com/race/vuelta-a-espana/1996/stage-21/overview 1996 » 51st Vuelta a Espana Procyclingstats 25 July 2018http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tde/tde1996.php 51ème Vuelta a España 1996 Memoire du cyclisme fr https://web.archive.org/web/20041025141027/http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tde/tde1996.php 25 October 2004 Stage Date Course Distance Type Winner 1 7 September Valencia to Valencia 162 km 0 on Biagio Conte ITA 2 8 September Valencia to Cuenca 210 km 0 on Nicola Minali ITA 3 9 September Cuenca to Albacete 167.2 km 0 on Laurent Jalabert FRA 4 10 September Albacete to Murcia 166.5 km 0 on Tom Steels BEL 5 11 September Murcia to Almería 208.4 km 0 on Jeroen Blijlevens NED 6 12 September Almería to Málaga 196.5 km 0 on Fabio Baldato ITA 7 13 September Málaga to Marbella 171.1 km 0 on Fabio Baldato ITA 8 14 September Marbella to Jerez de la Frontera 220.7 km 0 on Nicola Minali ITA 9 15 September Jerez de la Frontera to Córdoba 203.5 km 0 on Nicola Minali ITA 16 September Rest day 10 17 September El Tiemblo to Ávila 46.5 km 0 on 22px Individual time trial Tony Rominger SUI 11 18 September Ávila to Salamanca 188 km 0 on Marco Antonio Di Renzo ITA 12 19 September Benavente to Alto del Naranco 188 km 0 on Daniele Nardello ITA 13 20 September Oviedo to Lakes of Covadonga 159 km 0 on Laurent Jalabert FRA 14 21 September Cangas de Onís to Cabarceno Natural Park 202.6 km 0 on Biagio Conte ITA 15 22 September Cabárceno, Penagos Cabárceno es Cabárceno (Penagos) to Alto Cruz de la Demanda (Ezcaray) 220 km 0 on Alex Zülle SUI 16 23 September Logroño to Sabiñánigo 220.9 km 0 on Nicola Minali ITA 17 24 September Sabiñánigo to Cerler 165.7 km 0 on Oliverio Rincón COL 18 25 September Benasque to Zaragoza 219.5 km 0 on Dimitri Konyshev RUS 19 26 September Getafe to Ávila 217.1 km 0 on Laurent Dufaux SUI 20 27 September Ávila to Palazuelos de Eresma (Destilerías DYC) 209.5 km 0 on Gianni Bugno ITA 21 28 September Segovia to Palazuelos de Eresma (Destilerías DYC) 43 km 0 on 22px Individual time trial Tony Rominger SUI 22 29 September Madrid to Madrid 157.6 km 0 on Tom Steels BEL Total 3898 km 0 on General classification RankRiderTeamTime 1SUI Alex Zülle ONCE 97h 31' 46s2SUI Laurent Dufaux Festina + 6' 23s3SUI Tony Rominger MAP 1996 + 8' 29s4ITA Roberto Pistore RIS 1996 + 10' 13s5ITA Stefano Faustini AKI - Gipièmme + 11' 21s6AUT Georg Totschnig Team Polti + 11' 33s7ITA Davide Rebellin Team Polti + 13' 16s8ITA Andrea Peron Motorola + 14' 46s9USA Bobby Julich Motorola + 15' 10s10ESP Fernando Escartín Kelme-Artiach + 18' 35s 11ESP Marcos Serrano Kelme-Artiach + 19' 19s12ESP José María Jiménez Banesto + 20' 19s13ITA Mauro Gianetti Team Polti + 21' 15s14ESP Daniel Clavero MX Onda + 21' 49s15ITA Daniele Nardello MAP 1996 + 22' 37s16RUS Vladislav Bobrik GEW 1996 + 26' 00s17BEL Axel Merckx Motorola + 27' 34s18ESP Francisco Javier Mauleón MAP 1996 + 27' 38s19FRA Laurent Jalabert ONCE + 27' 44s20DEN Peter Meinert Nielsen TMO 1996 + 29' 56s21FRA Pascal Chanteur Casino 22SUI Fabian Jeker Festina-Lotus 23GER Kai Hundertmarck TMO 1996 24ESP Ángel Casero Banesto 25ITA Massimo Apollonio COG 1996 References External links La Vuelta (Official site in Spanish, English, and French) 1996 Vuelta a España 1 11 12 22 Category:1996 in Spanish road cycling 1996 Category:September 1996 sports events in Europe
