1991 Tour de France

Final 1991 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 1991 Tour had 22 stages plus a prologue that totaled 3914.4 kilometers.

It was ridden at an average speed of 38.747 km/hr.

198 riders started and there were 158 classified finishers.

This was Miguel Indurain's first of five consecutive Tour victories. While wearing yellow Rolf Sorensen crashed near the end of stage 5, breaking his clavicle. He was forced to abandon. Thierry Marie won the following stage and the lead by executing the longest post-war solo break (234 km).

Greg LeMond was expected to repeat his 1989 and 1990 Tour wins with a third consecutive victory. LeMond took the lead in the stage 8 time trial and looked capable of holding it all the way to Paris. In the final 500 meters of stage 13's ascent of the Tourmalet LeMond couldn't stay with the leaders. That moment signalled the transition from the LeMond era to near total hegemony of Miguel Indurain.
