1982 Tour de France Quick Facts:

3,512 km ridden at an average speed of 37.47 km/hr.

170 starters, 125 classified finishers

Experts say this was Bernard Hinault's most effortless Tour win.

He stayed close to the top of the standings and pounced in the stage eleven individual time trial.

From there he slowly but steadily increased his lead. Along the way he won four stages and held the Yellow Jersey for ten days.

With this win he joined Coppi and Merckx by winning the Tour and the Giro in the same year.

This was Hinault's fourth of his eventual five Tour victories.

1982 Tour de France complete final General Classification

The Story of the 1982 Tour de France

Hinault didn't have his usual long list of spring wins this year. He had only 1 major victory, but it was a big one, the Giro d'Italia, with 5 stage wins (if you count the Prologue team time trial). Hinault still wanted to go where the air was thin and join Coppi, Anquetil and Merckx in the Giro-Tour Double Club. The last time he tried to become one of the immortals, in 1980, his knee couldn't sustain the effort of the 2 Grand Tours and had to retire mid-way through the Tour de France.

For the first time since 1968, the Tour started without the great Lucien van Impe. His Metauro team was not thought strong enough to ride both the Giro, which it had just finished, and the Tour. Van Impe tried to get a 1-month contract with a team that would ride the Tour, but his efforts were fruitless. Andre Darrigade and van Impe co-held the record with 13 successive Tour starts and completions. Van Impe was not able to take the number to 14 and make the record his own.

The 1982 Tour started in Basel, Switzerland. Hinault won the prologue and started the Tour in Yellow.

The ever-surprising Phil Anderson won stage 2 from Basel to Nancy, France. He was part of a 6-man break from which he escaped with about 8 kilometers to go, coming across the line a full 4 seconds clear. He got another chance to don and fight to keep the Yellow Jersey. As the Tour headed northwest back into France Anderson kept his lead. Meanwhile, Hinault kept banging away, fighting with Sean Kelly for the little intermediate sprint time bonuses.

Stage 5 was scheduled to be a team time trial, but the stage had to be cancelled after several teams were already on the road. Striking steel workers, who had learned that 1,000 of their fellow employees were about to be fired, blocked the road. Undeterred, the Tour organizers fit the time trial into the morning of stage 9. There, Raleigh showed that it had lost none of its ability to dominate Tour team time trials, winning its eighth in a row. Hinault's Renault squad came in second and Anderson's Peugeots were fifth. Because the times were adjusted according to a system of bonuses rather than applying the real elapsed times, Anderson was still in Yellow. Hinault was stalking him at only 28 seconds back.

Stage 8 presented an interesting question that went unanswered. French Road Champion Regis Clère went away early and acquired a lead of almost 13 minutes. The stage was to end with 15 6-kilometer laps on a circuit at Chateaulin. It was Clère's audacious plan to arrive at the circuit, do a lap and then sit in on the field when it arrived to do its laps. Unfortunately for Clère, he got a flat tire just before arriving at the circuit and had to get his rear wheel changed. The change was done incompetently and his tire rubbed. It took 2 more stops before his bike was right. Too much time had been lost to put his plan into action and he was absorbed by the pack. Would drafting the lapped field have been legal? We'll never know. Frank Hoste, the Belgian champion, won the stage.

The appointment with destiny could not be postponed. Stage 11 was a 57.3-kilometer individual time trial. Gerrie Knetemann, who had so often come within seconds of matching Hinault in time trials, beat him by 18 seconds this time. Anderson came in twelfth, 3 minutes, 5 seconds behind Knetemann.

The General Classification stood thus:

Before the race had ever hit the high mountains, Hinault was clearly in control. The Pyrenees came first. Hinault didn't win or even make the podium of the 2 Pyrenean stages. He just rode as hard as necessary to keep in sight the men who could threaten him in the General Classification. Kelly won the first day in the Pyrenees. The final climb of the second of the 2 stages demonstrates the care Hinault could show in conserving his resources. There were 8 riders left in the front group on the road to St.Lary-Soulan. Swiss rider Beat Breu took off, but being almost 10 minutes down in the General Classification, Hinault ignored him. The other riders with Hinault, including Zoetemelk, Robert Alban and Bernard Vallet, refused to go to the front, forcing Hinault to lead. With 2 kilometers to go to the summit the attacks started. Hinault just rode at his speed, staying with Zoetemelk, knowing that Zoetemelk had decided he could not win and was riding for second place. And so Hinault played it, generating press speculation that Hinault was weakening. I guess they needed some sort of interesting story to write.

After the Pyrenees was another time trial. This one he won, and with that victory he fattened his already comfortable lead. Here was the overall after stage 14, and the Alps ahead:

In the Alps, Hinault again didn't bother doing anything more than making sure his opposition was in sight. So far, he hadn't won any road stages.

Stage 19 was the final time trial and again Hinault won it with Knetemann only 9 seconds slower. Hinault was going so fast at the end of his ride that he covered the last kilometer in exactly 1 minute. That's 60 kilometers an hour!

Normally in the modern Tour de France, the final stage is a promenade into Paris with a furious finale as the race blasts up and down the Champs Elysées. By this time the Tour's winner has almost always been decided. On this day of celebration and spectacle the Yellow Jersey is careful and usually tries to stay out of trouble.

In the final stage of the 1980 Tour Zoetemelk was terrified that with the bad weather that year, he might crash on the wet roads of the final stage and lose his best-ever chance to win the Tour. At the close of the 2004 Tour Lance Armstrong finished 19 seconds behind the leaders in the last stage, not wanting to get caught in a stupid crash just before the end of the race.

But in 1979, Zoetemelk and Hinault had defied that tradition when Zoetemelk refused to lay down his arms in the final stage. He broke away and Hinault personally came after him and beat him in the sprint for the stage win.

This year, 1982, Hinault joined the specialty sprinters in their elbow-banging, bike-thrashing rush over the cobbles of the Champs Elysées to the final finish line, beating them all. He had his road stage win, the most spectacular and prestigious of them all.

Tour writers have characterized Hinault's 1982 win as his most effortless. His form was so fine and his opposition so far below him that he seemed almost ordained the winner before it even started. He had at last joined Coppi, Anquetil and Merckx in the elite group of riders who had won the Giro and the Tour the same year. That made 4 Tour wins for Hinault. Only Anquetil and Merckx had more.

Sean Kelly claimed the first of his 4 Green Jerseys. Dutchmen ended in second through fourth place in the General Classification.
