In the men's race, Laurent Fignon won for the second year
in a row.  The "badger" Bernard Hinault was second at 
about 9 minutes with American Greg LeMond 3rd at about
11 minutes.  The Scot, Robert Millar, finished fourth
at 14 minutes.

In the Women's event Boulder's Marianne Martin took
the yellow jersey with a three minute edge over some 
French woman.  This was the first ever woman's Tour De France
and unfortunately was marred by the absence of virtually
all the top women racers.  Where were they?  At the Coors
Classic preparing for the Olympics.  It should be interesting 
next year to see if the two races can co-exist and not drain
each other of talent.
