The Tour de France
Stage 19 (Friday, July 24)
Individual Time Trial 
between Tours and Blois (64 km)

[from l'Equipe Saturday, July 25]

Course:  Weather hot (30-35 degrees) and sunny, favorable wind (north west).
130 participants.

ZHDANOV FINISHES STRONG

Before the best-placed riders began, it is Dmitri Zhdanov, the young
Russian from Team Panasonic, who created the surprise.  Leaving relatively
prudently, he overwhelmed at the end his compatriot Ekimov and Jean-Francois
Bernard, both who placed better than he in the intermediate time splits.

BUGNO FOR THE K.O.

In the battle of three for a place on the podium between Andy Hampsten,
Pascal Lino, and Gianni Bugno, it is the Frenchman who is pushing again
in the first kilometers.  The American takes a satisfactory start, but
after the first 29 km has already lost more than a minute to Bugno, and
it becomes evident that he will lose his third place to Bugno.  At the 
finish, Bugno has gained 4' 53" on Hampsten and 4' 35" on Lino.

INDURAIN GOES SUPERSONIC!

The only man to be ahead of Bugno at every single intermediate point:
Miguel Indurain.  They are practically equal in time at the 46 km mark,
where the Spaniard is ahead of the Italian by just 1 second!  But the
Yellow Jersey kicked into turbo in the final kilometers, at the moment where 
his adversary Bugno loses steam and is incapable of passing Delgado, who is
in sight.  Bugno gives up 40" at the finish line.  Indurain wins with an 
average speed of 52.349 km/h and reinforces his first place in the General 
Classification.  Chiappucci continues in second place, 4' 35" behind (and 
he was 6th in the stage, 2' 53" behind Indurain).  Bugno moves to third in 
the G.C., but is a distant 10' 49" behind Indurain.
