The 1987 Tour de France was the 74th Tour de France, taking place from July 1 to July 26, 1987. It consisted of 25 stages over 4231 km, ridden at an average speed of 36.645 km/h.[1] It was the closest three-way finish in the Tour until the 2007 Tour de France, and was won by Stephen Roche, the first and so far only Irishman to do so.
The winner of the 1986 Tour de France, Greg LeMond was unable to defend his title following a shooting accident in April.
Following Stage 1, Poland's Lech Piasecki became the first rider from Eastern Bloc to lead the Tour de France.[2] He was one of eight different men to wear yellow, a new record for the Tour.[2]

[edit] Differences from the 1986 Tour de France
In 1983 the race organizers changed the rules for the Young rider classification. After 1983 the leader had to be a first time entrant of the Tour to be eligible for the classification. In 1987 the organizers decided that the classification should be open to all cyclists less than 26 years of age at 1 January of the year.
The number of cyclists in one team was reduced from 10 to 9, to allow more teams in the race.
[edit] Participants
The 1987 Tour started with 207 cyclists, divided into 23 teams of 9 cyclists:[3]

[edit] Race details
The pivotal stage was Stage 21, where Pedro Delgado attacked his nearest rival, Stephen Roche, on the ascent up La Plagne. Delgado gained a minute and a half, only to be almost caught on the finish line by Roche who had staged a massive comeback unbeknownst to Delgado and to many of the television commentators who were shocked to see Roche appearing behind the Spaniard. Roche, a talented time-trialist, went on to gain more time on Delgado on the penultimate stage which was an individual time trial at Dijon, and this was enough to secure the overall win.
[edit] Stages
The 1987 Tour de France started on 1 July, and had one rest day, in Avignon.[4]
