271.0. "92 Tour de France" by SA1794::GUSICJ (Referees whistle while they work..) Tue Jul 14 1992 14:14

    
    
    	Geez, I'm kinda shocked that there hasn't been any discussion on
    the Tour de France.
    
    	Saw the highlights on ESPN last night and last years champ Indurain
    blew everyone away with his timetrial.  LeMond is struggling, but is
    still within striking distance in 5th 4:27 behind the overall leader
    Pascal Lino.
    
    Top 5 after 9th stage: (Monday)
    
    	1. Lino
    	2. Indurain 	+1:27
    	3. Skibby	+3:47
    	4. Roche	+4:15
    	5. LeMond	+4:27
    
    
    	Others: Bungo 		+4:39
    		Chiappucci	+4:54
    		Delgado		+7:11
    		Bauer		+7:31
    		Fignon		+7:44

271.2Tour D'Europa '92?SALES::THILLTue Jul 14 1992 14:5312
    The route of this years race is a little different to say the least. It
    starts in Spain then moves up through several areas of France before
    hitting Belgium, Holland, Luxumbourg and Germany before heading back to
    France. In the past they have gone for a short stint into neighboring
    countries, but never this much or this many countries. I guess this must 
    be some sort of tie-in with the year of Europe/1992. 
    
    The neat thing about this race is that it is a different route every
    year, and makes it a point to bring the race to small towns in the
    French countryside.
