Stage 19 and Stage 20 Question
"Ian" a écrit dans le message de news:
...
If after stage 19 the time gap between the Tour leader and the second
place rider of the GC is only 60 seconds, will they fight for the
final
placing during the final stage (stage 20) - I thought normally stage
20
are for the sprinters?
Has there ever been such a close time difference between the leader
and
the second place rider in the Tour, and that the winner determined by
the final stage?
In 1979 Zootemelk was 2nd to Hinault before the last stage.
He tried to escape at the Champ-Elysees stage to gain time over Hinault.
Hinault came back to catch him and won the stage and the tour.
