And Laurent Fignon, the two-time Tour winner who was the overall leader going into the final stage, was arrogant, too contemptuously Gallic to be whipped on his home turf by an American in the bicentennial year of the French Revolution.
Fignon accused the underdog LeMond, through the press, of not defending the yellow jersey like a champion, of being content to ride on his — Fignon's — wheel, allowing Delgado to race away from the pack.
Fignon, too, was uncomfortable with so narrow a lead, and he made a daring solo attack the next day during the relatively short (57-mile) 18th stage.
