Tour de France 1987 (22 July) Le Bourg-d'Oisans-La Plagne, 185 Km.
Mountain
Telegraphe
Galibier (HC-2640) - Munoz
Madeleine (HC-1984) - Fuerte
La Plagne (HC-1970) - Fignon
In the first part of this stage, the Colombian cyclists of the "Cafe de Colombia" team (including Luis Herrera and Fabio Enrique Parra, fifth and sixth in the general classification) kept a high pace, and many cyclists were dropped. Roche, Delgado and Mottet decided to work together to get rid of the Colombian cyclists on the descent of the Galibier, out of fear that Herrera and Parra would leave them behind in the next climbs. Their plan worked, but Delgado's team mates were also dropped. Roche saw this opportunity and escaped, climbing the Madeleine alone. Somewhat later, Delgado's team mates got back to Delgado, and together they chased Roche, and caught him just before the climb of La Plagne. Roche then anticipated that Delgado would keep attacking on the climb. Knowing Delgado was the better climber, Roche decided he would not follow Delgado's attack. Instead, he let Delgado get away until the margin was one minute, giving Delgado the impression that he could safely save energy for the next stages, and at the last part of the stage gave it everything he had to reduce the margin. Roche followed that tactic, and confused not only Delgado, but also the commentators and the Tour organisation. Roche finished a few seconds behind Delgado, and after the finish he collapsed and was given an oxygen mask in an ambulance

Thanks for posting. So much better than the CBS coverage

I remember this commentary in Ireland as a kid 🇮🇪 "And who is that coming up behind Pedro Delgado, it's Roche, it's Stephen Roche"

Fignon gives a textbook demonstration of how to outfox a pure climber.

Fignon needs to be remembered as the hard charging champion he was. And how he represented France! Chapeau! RIP

Fignon fue el mejor cyclista de la temporada 1987 ?

It's a pity that the camera director seemed to be starkly disconnected with what was happening in the Tour de France that year. No footage of the the rider place 2nd overall the whole way up the climb, a rider who was dangerously close and had pulled off a startling breakaway earlier in the day, greatly weakening his rivals. Understandably the stage leaders would be given Moto1, especially since it was their own darling Laurent Fignon. Understandably, the RACE leader Pedro Delgado would be given Moto 2. But what of Moto 3? Or of the helicopter which is often used to bridge the gap in coverage when the motorbike cameras are all taken up? Very poor. And then when the 2nd placed rider OVERALL astonishes everyone by showing up out of nowhere, we still have no cameras on the ground to get crucial human interest footage of Roche as he has evidently produced the ride of his life, and most definitely at that point had kept himself in contention. No. We get another boring 2 minutes or more of the 'also-rans' traipsing over the line and lots of empty road in between. Besides being seemingly clueless of the big picture, the camera director was obviously caught napping on the line too. "Hey Boss! Réveillez-vous!! Wake up Monsieur!! Fignon looks like he could win ze stage!!" Sleeping Boss: "Eh...? Oh...eh??" Grunts, farts, grunts again. "Awwh Zut! Alors!! Make sure you get all cameras on ze Lion!! Vive la France! We will celebrate zis day" "Ah oui Monsieur, mais eh....what about Monsieur Roche qui arrivee tres rapide tout-de-suite non?? Et Jean Francois?? "Qui?? Bernard - bah! 'Roche', qui 'est?? Awwh...he's down ze mountainside in a pub somewhere. Keep ze cameras ALL ZE CAMERAS on Fignon, and a little bit on ze maillot jaune!" Terrible.

Sionnach1601 This was 1987, you have to bear this in mind. The coverage back then was nothing like it is now.

This commentary and sequence of events is inscribed in cycling folklore, largely because of the failings identified here. Blanket coverage leads to little by way of surprise, not in the way witnessed here. The flaws led to something brilliant.

Very true. Even the relatively sparse American coverage on CBS at least showed Roche's bold breakaway starting in the valley before the climb of the Col de la Madeleine and the frantic chase by Delgado and the other leaders. All of that of course set up the drama and how things played out on the final climb. And again, the American coverage at least showed clips of Roche on the final climb as he dug deep within himself to pull back Delgado before the finish and stay in contention. I thought for sure this longer coverage would include that.
