Miguel Indurain comes a step short to his first Grand Tour victory as he finishes 2nd in the Vuelta a España, but his definitive eclosion comes at the Tour in July. His first Grande Boucle victory arrives after an unforgettable breakaway along with Chiappucci, in the way to Val Louron. The team shows his joint power as they snatch the teams’ overall win in Paris. The bronze medal in the Stuttgart Worlds close the first year of Miguel’s reign.
