[edit] Differences from the 1989 Tour de France

The 1989 Tour de France included the Combination classification and the Intermediate sprints classification. The 1990 Tour, however, did not feature these classifications. The unusual last-stage time trial of 1989 was of course not repeated.

[edit] Participants

The 1990 Tour started with 198 cyclists, divided into 22 teams of 9 cyclists:[2]

[edit] Stages

The 1990 Tour de France started on 1 July, and had two rest days. On the first rest day, the cyclists were transferred from Rouen to Strasbourg, on the second rest day the cyclists were in Villard-de-Lans.[3]
