It had 25 stages over 4231 km 0 on. It was the closest three-way finish in the Tour until the 2007 Tour de France, among the closest overall races in Tour history and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place riders each wore the Yellow jersey at some point during the race. It was won by Stephen Roche, the first and so far only Irishman to do so. The winner of the 1986 Tour de France, Greg LeMond was unable to defend his title following a shooting accident in April. Following Stage 1, Poland's Lech Piasecki became the first rider from the Eastern Bloc to lead the Tour de France.L'Équipe Leblanc Armstrong 2003 290 He was one of eight different men to wear yellow, a new record for the Tour.L'Équipe Leblanc Armstrong 2003 290 Teams List of teams and cyclists in the 1987 Tour de France The number of cyclists in one team was reduced from 10 to 9, to allow more teams in the race.

He was unable to start the 1987 Tour, and because Bernard Hinault (second placed in 1986, and the only rider to seriously challenge LeMond in 1986) had retired, the Tour started without a clear favourite. Only one previous winner started in the 1987 Tour: Laurent Fignon, winner in 1983 and 1984. Since then, Fignon had struggled with his form, but in the first months of 1987, Fignon had finally shown some good results. LeMond's place as leader of the Toshiba team was now taken by Jean-François Bernard. He had finished in twelfth place in the previous year as helper of LeMond and Hinault, so more was expected from him now. The Carrera team was led by Stephen Roche. For Roche, the months before the 1987 Tour had gone well, having won the 1987 Giro d'Italia. In the recent Tours, Pedro Delgado had shown improving results, and he had some talented helpers in his PDM team, so he was also considered a contender.McGann McGann 2008 171–178 Route and stages In 1985, it was announced that the 1987 Tour would start in West-Berlin, to celebrate the 750th anniversary of the city's founding.https://leiden.courant.nu/issue/LLC/1985-10-11/edition/0/page/11 Tour '87 start in West-Berlijn nl 11 October 1985 Leidse Courant 11 1 December 2013 Regionaal Archief Leiden The 1987 Tour de France started on 1 July, and had one rest day, in Avignon.Augendre 2016 78 There were 25 stages (and a prologue), more than ever before.McGann McGann 2008 171–178 The highest point of elevation in the race was 2642 m ft on at the summit of the Col du Galibier mountain pass on stage 21.Augendre 2016 177–178Ronde van Frankrijk 87 Tour de France 87 https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ABCDDD:010856765:mpeg21:p008 de Volkskrant 30 June 1987 8 nl Delpher + Stage characteristics and winners74ème Tour de France 1987 74th Tour de France 1987 http://memoire-du-cyclisme.eu/eta_tdf/tdf1987.php Mémoire du cyclisme 6 April 2020 frAugendre 2016 78http://www.cvccbike.com/tour/top_ten.html#1987 Tour de France GC top ten Arian Zwegers CVCCBike.com 26 September 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20080516071832/http://www.cvccbike.com/tour/top_ten.html 16 May 2008 liveThe history of the Tour de France – Year 1987 – The stage winners http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1987/vainqueurs.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 2 April 2020 3 April 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200403005337/http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1987/vainqueurs.html dead Stage Date Course Distance Type Winner P1 July West Berlin (West Germany) 6 km on 20px|alt=|link= Individual time trial Jelle Nijdam NED 12 July West Berlin (West Germany) 105 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Nico Verhoeven NED 22 July West Berlin (West Germany) 41 km on alt=|link=Team time trial|20px Team time trial ITA CAR 1987 34 July Karlsruhe (West Germany) to Stuttgart (West Germany) 219 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Acácio da Silva POR 45 July Stuttgart (West Germany) to Pforzheim (West Germany) 79 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Herman Frison BEL 55 July Pforzheim (West Germany) to Strasbourg 112 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Marc Sergeant BEL 66 July Strasbourg to Épinal 169 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Christophe Lavainne FRA 77 July Épinal to Troyes 211 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Manuel Jorge Domínguez ESPThe seventh stage was initially won by Guido Bontempi, who failed a doping test.

Erich Maechler became the new leader. Maechler kept the lead for several stages. After stage nine, Maechler was still leading. The mass-start stages were dominated by break-aways of cyclists who were not considered relevant for the final victory; sixth-placed Charly Mottet was the only cyclist in the top 15 who had real chances of finishing high.McGann McGann 2008 171–178 The tenth stage was an individual time trial, and the first real test for the favourites. It was won by Stephen Roche, with Mottet in second place; Mottet became the new leader of the general classification.McGann McGann 2008 171–178 After a successful escape in the eleventh stage, Martial Gayant became the new leader. The twelfth stage ended in a bunch sprint that did not change the general classification. The Tour arrived in the Pyrenees in the thirteenth stage. Non-climbers, such as Gayant lost more than fifteen minutes, and so the non-climbers were removed from the top positions of the general classification; the new top three was Mottet – Bernard – Roche, all serious contenders for the final victory.McGann McGann 2008 171–178 The eighteenth stage was an individual time trial, with a finish on the Mont Ventoux. It was won with a great margin by Jean-François Bernard, who became the new leader of the general classification, and the new hope of the French cycling fans. Bernard was a good climber and a good time-trialist, and had the support of a good team, so he could be able to stay leader until the end of the race.McGann McGann 2008 171–178 But already in the next stage, Bernard lost considerable time. He had a flat tire just before the top of a climb, and lost contact with the other riders while he had to wait for repairs, and had to spend energy to get back. His rivals Mottet and Roche had made a plan to attack in the feed zone, where cyclists could get their lunch. Mottet and Roche had packed extra food at the start of the stage, and attacked while Bernard was at the back of the peloton. Bernard chased them, but was not able to get back to them, and lost four minutes in that stage, which made Roche the new leader, closely followed by Mottet and Delgado.McGann McGann 2008 171–178 In the twentieth stage, the riders went through the Alps, to finish on the Alpe d'Huez. Roche finished in fifteenth place, and lost the lead to Delgado.McGann McGann 2008 171–178 The pivotal stage was stage 21. In the first part of this stage, the Colombian cyclists of the "Café de Colombia" team (including Luis Herrera and Fabio Parra, fifth and sixth in the general classification) kept a high pace, and many cyclists were dropped. Roche, Delgado and Mottet decided to work together to get rid of the Colombian cyclists on the descent of the Galibier, out of fear that Herrera and Parra would leave them behind in the next climbs. Their plan worked, but Delgado's teammates were also dropped. Roche saw this opportunity and escaped, climbing the Madeleine in a small breakaway group.https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/tomfordyce/2012/06/stephen_roche_remembers_one_sp.html Stephen Roche remembers one special day in 1987 Tom Bordyche BBC 26 June 2012 17 March 2013 Somewhat later, Delgado's teammates got back to Delgado, and together they chased Roche, and caught him just before the climb of La Plagne. Roche then anticipated that Delgado would keep attacking on the climb. Knowing Delgado was the better climber, Roche decided he would not follow Delgado's attack. Instead, he let Delgado get away until the margin was one minute, giving Delgado the impression that he could safely save energy for the next stages, and at the last part of the stage gave it everything he had to reduce the margin. Roche followed that tactic, and confused not only Delgado, but also the commentators and the Tour organisation. Roche finished a few seconds behind Delgado, and after the finish he collapsed and was given an oxygen mask in an ambulance. Roche was only 39 seconds behind Delgado in the general classification. Roche could still win the Tour, but it depended on if he could recover in time for the 22nd stage. That stage included the last serious climb of the Tour, so Delgado had his final opportunity to gain time on Roche, and he attacked. However, Roche was able to come back to Delgado twice. Then, Roche attacked, and Delgado could not keep up. Roche won back 18 seconds on Delgado, so he had reduced his margin to 21 seconds.http://www.cyclingrevealed.com/Apr06/top25-5.htm 1987: Drama on La Plagne Barry Boyce Cycling revealed 17 March 2013 2006 Being a talented time-trialist, he knew that he could easily make up for it on the penultimate stage (an individual time trial at Dijon). Indeed, Roche won almost a minute on Delgado, and this was enough to secure the overall win. This time trial was won by Jean-François Bernard finished the Tour in third place after losing four minutes after the flat tire in the nineteenth stage.McGann McGann 2008 171–178 Doping Bontempi was originally declared winner of the 7th stage, but a few days later, his doping test came back positive for testosterone. Bontempi was set back to the last place of the stage, was penalised with 10 minutes in the general classification, and received a provisional suspension of one month.http://www.cyclismas.com/2012/07/1987-part-three-dohpe/ 1987, Part Three: D'ohpe! 6 July 2012 17 March 2013 Cyclismas https://web.archive.org/web/20121113134609/http://www.cyclismas.com/2012/07/1987-part-three-dohpe/ 13 November 2012 dead One day later, it became public that Dietrich Thurau had tested positive after the eighth stage. At that point, Thurau had already left the race. He was set back to the last place of that stage, and also received a provisional suspension of one month.https://www.welt.de/sport/article890306/Wir-haben-doch-frueher-alle-gedopt.html Wir haben doch früher alle gedopt Die Welt de 17 March 2013 23 May 2007 The third rider to test positive was Silvano Contini, after the thirteenth 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, where cyclists were given 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 There was also a combination classification. This classification was calculated as a combination of the other classifications, its leader wore the combination jersey.Nauright Parrish 2012 454–455 Another classification was the intermediate sprints classification. This classification had similar rules as the points classification, but only points were awarded on intermediate sprints. Its leader wore a red jersey.Nauright Parrish 2012 455 The sixth individual classification was the young rider classification. This was decided the same way as the general classification, but only riders under 26 years were eligible, and the leader wore a white jersey. In 1987 the race organisers changed the rules for the young rider classification; from 1983 to 1986, this classification had been as a "debutant classification", open for cyclist that rode the Tour for the first time. In 1987, the organisers decided that the classification should be open to all cyclists less than 25 years of age at 1 January of the year.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 riders in the team that led this classification were identified by yellow caps.Nauright Parrish 2012 455 There was also a team points classification. Cyclists received points according to their finishing position on each stage, with the first rider receiving one point. The first three finishers of each team had their points combined, and the team with the fewest points led the classification. The riders of the team leading this classification wore green caps.Nauright Parrish 2012 455 In addition, there was a combativity award, in which a jury composed of journalists gave points after each mass-start stage to the cyclist they considered most combative. The split stages each had a combined winner.van den Akker 2018 211–216 At the conclusion of the Tour, Régis Clère won the overall super-combativity award, also decided by journalists.Augendre 2016 76 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 Galibier on stage 21.
