1988 Tour de France

Final 1988 Tour de France General Classification along with points and climbers' competition results.

Each stage with major climbs, top 10 placers and running top-10 GC

The 1988 Tour had 22 stages plus a prologue that totaled 3281.5 kilometers.

It was ridden at an average speed of 38.909 km/hr.

198 riders started and there were 151 classified finishers.

Stephen Roche was unable to defend his 1987 Tour championship, having to undergo 2 knee operations in the off-season. Giro winner Andy Hampsten was shot after riding the Giro. That made Pedro Delgado who was never really outclassed by Roche in the 1987 edition, the favorite. Delgado easily won. But not without scandal.

Late in the race Delgado was found positive for Probenicid, a steroid masking agent. The drug was banned by the Olympic committee, but the UCI wasn't going to add it to the list of banned drugs for professional racers until after the Tour. At the time Delgado was found to have the drug in his system, it wasn't against the rule. So, Delgado gets his Tour victory while the rest of the world holds its nose.
