Differences from the 1982 Tour de France

The Combination classification was not contested in the 1983 Tour. The Young rider classification rules changed, now the classification was open to only first time entrants of the Tour.

Race details

In 1983, Fignon was a part of the team that helped Bernard Hinault to win the 1983 Vuelta a España. Guimard did not want to send Fignon to the Tour de France, because two grand tours could be too much for a 22-year old rider.[2] When Hinault, winner of four of the five previous Tours, announced that he would not start due to injury, the Renault team was without team captain. Fignon was added to the 1983 Tour de France selection for the Renault team, and the team decided to go for stage wins, with hopes of having Fignon or Marc Madiot compete for the best debutant category.[3] After stage nine, the first mountain stage, Fignon was in second place, behind Pascal Simon,[4] and he was allowed to be team leader.[5] In the tenth stage, Simon crashed and broke his shoulder blade. Simon continued, and only lost little time the next stages. In the fifteenth stage, a mountain time trial, Fignon was able to win back so much time that he was within one minute of Simon.[6] In the seventeenth stage, Simon had to give up, and Fignon became the new leader. In the next stages, Fignon was able to answer all attacks from his opponents, and he even won the time trial in the 21st stage. At 22 years old, Fignon was the youngest man to win the Tour since 1933.

Fignon later said that he was lucky to have won the 1983 Tour: if Hinault would have been present, Fignon would have helped Hinault, as Hinault was the team leader.[7]

Stages

The 1983 Tour de France started on 1 July, and had one rest day, after the finish on the Alpe d'Huez.[8]
