Reynolds-Banesto
1989

Delgado takes the third spot overall in the Tour, behind LeMond and Fignon. It will always be remembered how he lost almost 3 minutes after startling Luxembourg’s prologue late. Indurain, who had imposed in the early part of the season in Paris-Nice, exhibits his talent with his first Pirenaic stage victory in the Tour. Banesto becomes the main sponsor. A new era dawns.
