However, none of them seemed to arrive in good form, and none of them lived up to their reputation. Among the locals, the defending champion Melchor Mauri, Pedro Delgado and Laudelino Cubino were the favorites.

The big surprise that day was pure climber Jesús Montoya who managed second on the stage and took the leader's jersey. Rominger, suffering from a concussion and a knee injury due to an earlier crash, lost almost three minutes. Two days later, during the queen stage in the Pyrenees, with 5 major mountain passes ending with the ascensions of the Tourmalet and Luz Ardiden, the names of the contenders became clear, as Mauri lost over forty minutes and Rominger dropped the other contenders on the final climb, to finish second to the stage winner Lale Cubino who had spent the day in a breakaway. Cubino, who until then seemed like a candidate for the overall win, lost time on the ascension of Lagos de Covadonga, where Delgado took the stage and rose to second overall. Montoya limited his losses to Delgado, and Rominger finished right with him after being initially dropped. As Montoya and Delgado closely marked each other's attacks, they were unable to increase their advantage on Rominger who took the lead with a commanding performance in the final flat time trial. After this, Montoya and Delgado joined forces over the final mountain stage, but were unable to unseat Rominger who once again won the stage. Thus, Rominger became the first Swiss rider to win the Vuelta. He was joined on the final podium by Jesús Montoya and Pedro Delgado. Doping Óscar Vargas initially won stage 20, but tested positive for caffeine in the subsequent doping test. He was stripped of his result and given a three-month suspension.Óscar Vargas, positivo https://elpais.com/diario/1992/05/29/deportes/707090408_850215.html El País 12 March 2019 es 29 May 1992 Results Final General Classification RankRiderTeamTime 1 SUI Tony Rominger CLAS-Cajastur 96h 14' 50" 2 ESP Jesús Montoya Amaya Seguros 1' 04" 3 ESP Pedro Delgado Banesto 1' 42" 4 ITA Marco Giovannetti Gatorade – Chateau D'ax 5' 19" 5 ESP Federico Echave CLAS-Cajastur 5' 34" 6 ESP Laudelino Cubino Amaya Seguros 6' 24" 7 COL Fabio Parra Amaya Seguros 7' 24" 8 MEX Raúl Alcalá PDM-Concorde 12' 50" 9 ESP Francisco Javier Mauleón CLAS-Cajastur 15' 44" 10 NED Steven Rooks Buckler 18' 57" 11 NED Gert-Jan Theunisse TVM-Sanyo 19' 39" 12 ESP Pello Ruiz Cabestany Gatorada-Chateaux d'Ax 19' 41" 13 COL Luis Camargo Ryalco–Postobón 14 IRE Stephen Roche CAR 1992 15 BEL Johan Bruyneel ONCE 16 COL Hernán Buenahora Kelme-Don Café 17 COL William Palacio Ryalco-Postobón 18 LAT Piotr Ugrumov Seur 19 COL Edgar Corredor Sicasal-Arcal 20 GBR Robert Millar TVM-Sanyo 21 COL Fabio Rodríguez Clas-Cajastur 22 ESP Carlos Hernández Bailo Lotus-Festina 23 ESP Jon Unzaga Bombín Clas-Cajastur 24 ESP Arsenio González Clas-Cajastur 25 ESP Luis Perez Garcia Lotus-Festina References External links La Vuelta (Official site in Spanish, English, and French) 1992 Vuelta a España 1 10 11 21 Category:April 1992 sports events in Europe 1992 Category:May 1992 sports events in Europe
