The 1985 Tour de France was the 72nd Tour de France, taking place June 28 to July 21, 1985, over 4109 km in 22 stages and a prologue.[1]
Bernard Hinault would attempt to equal the records of Jacques Anquetil and Eddy Merckx who had each won the Tour de France five times. Hinault was unable to compete due to tendinitis in 1983. In 1984 Hinault had finished second to Laurent Fignon, and was threatened by Greg LeMond who ended in third position on the final podium. In order to ensure the best support, Hinault's La Vie Claire team recruited LeMond for the 1985 tour. In return for his support, Hinault promised on television that he would support LeMond the following year in the 1986 Tour de France.
Despite crashing on a fast descent and riding with black eyes due to his injuries, Hinault won and publicly again stated his promise to help LeMond the following year.

[edit] Differences from the 1984 Tour de France
This edition of Tour de France saw the first use of clipless pedals (made by LOOK) by Bernard Hinault, among other riders. Hinault credited their use to saving him from worse injuries in his crash, and popularized them. Their use is now widespread among cyclists, on both road and mountain bikes.
This edition also saw the Combination classification contested again, after not being contested in two editions.
