198 riders started and there were 130 classified finishers.

This was Miguel Indurain's second of five consecutive Tour victories.

In May he had won the Giro d'Italia in his normal race winning style. He contained his rivals in the mountains and hammered them in the time trials.

Complete Final 1992 Tour de France General Classification

The Story of the 1992 Tour de France:

This excerpt is from "The Story of the Tour de France", Volume 2. If you enjoy it we hope you will consider purchasing the book, either print, eBook or audiobook. The Amazon link here will make the purchase easy.

It was clear from Indurain's spring racing results that he had maintained his masterful 1991 form. He won the 1992 Giro d'Italia the same way he won the 1991 Tour de France—a la Anquetil. He contained his rivals in the mountains and won both time trials. He also won the Spanish Road Championships and the Tour of Catalonia. He was ready to join Coppi, Anquetil, Merckx and Hinault by going for the Giro-Tour double.

Gianni Bugno, who was second to Indurain in the previous year's Tour, was gunning for a Tour victory. Looking back, we can see that 1990 and 1991 were really Bugno's best years. He came to the Tour as the reigning World Champion. His spring was quiet but a third in the Dauphiné Libéré and a second in the Tour of Switzerland showed that his condition was coming on at just the right time. Chiappucci's second in the Giro (to Indurain) signaled that he too was ready to race.

The 1992 edition flitted all around western Europe. To commemorate the signing of the Maastricht treaty and its promise of an integrated European Union with a single market, the Tour schedule called for visits to Spain, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy and Luxembourg.

The action started with a prologue in San Sebastian, Spain. Indurain nailed it and set the tone of the race. In second place was a new revelation, Swiss rider Alex Zülle. Riding for the Spanish ONCE team, he was only 2 seconds slower than Indurain. The next day, by getting his hands on an intermediate time bonus, Zülle was able to land the Yellow Jersey.

Miguel Indurain, in an interview in Cycle Sport Magazine, said: "If by magic I were going to ride the Tour in 2003, what would interest me most would be the prologue. It's the most emotive moment, where the tension accumulated during a year of work is released like a gunshot."

Zülle's ownership of the precious garment was short-lived. While the 1992 Tour mostly avoided the Pyrenees, it did make sure that the riders got a taste of the lash with a trip up the Marie-Blanque. That brought out another new face, Richard Virenque. Virenque was not originally included in his team's lineup for the Tour and was a last-minute addition. He won the stage and took the lead from Zülle, who finished 12½ minutes behind the flying Frenchman.

Virenque's possession of the lead would be just as short as Zülle's. Stage 3 saw a break get a big 7-minute lead. Pascal Lino, a teammate of Virenque's on the RMO squad, was in the group of escapees and took over the lead with 2 minutes over Virenque and 6½ minutes on third-place Indurain.

Virenque and Lino's RMO squad faced the stage 4 63.5-kilometer team time trial knowing that they would lose time. Some teams practice and become very skilled at team time trials. They ride with ability, close together, driving each other just hard enough so as not to tear the team apart. They usually have riders who can put out the brute horsepower needed to propel the team at high speed on the flats. Others teams are terrible and can lose tremendous amounts of time. For a team with General Classification ambitions, Indurain's 1992 Banesto squad was slightly weak in this discipline. The Panasonic team won. Chiappucci's Carreras were only 7 seconds behind and Bugno's Gatorade team was third at 21 seconds. The Motorola team, riding for Andy Hampsten came in sixth, losing 48 seconds to Panasonic but coming in 2 seconds faster than Banesto.

1992 was the first Tour appearance of one of the iron men of American cycling, Frankie Andreu. This was the first of the 9 consecutive Tours Andreu completed, a superb record.

Here is the General Classification after the stage 4 Team Time Trial:

For a race that was supposed to be dominated by the cool, unflappable, dare I say it, dull Miguel Indurain, the surprises kept coming. Stage 6 was a rough, hard northern European classic-type stage with tough, short hills, bad weather and cobbles. The race broke up into small pieces under the stress of a powerful breakaway that included some of the finest racers alive. Laurent Jalabert, Greg LeMond, Claudio Chiappucci and Brian Holm pounded away from the field with Jalabert getting his first Tour stage win. Indurain was in the first chase group, 1 minute, 22 seconds back. Lino, with a healthy time cushion, kept the lead. This put Chiappucci in third (at 3 minutes, 34 seconds) and LeMond in fifth (at 4 minutes, 29 seconds). This was good, aggressive tactical riding, not letting Indurain set all the terms of when and how the Tour would be contested.

As the Tour wound through the small countries of northern Europe, time bonuses moved around the relative positions of the riders a bit. There was no real effect on the General Classification of the Tour contenders until the stage 9 65-kilometer individual time trial in Luxembourg. Indurain delivered a hard lesson in the art of the chrono. Indurain overtook Laurent Fignon, who had started 6 minutes earlier. In less than 80 minutes Miguel Indurain had changed the complexion of the Tour. Here are the times of the stage:

The resulting General Classification:

Through the French Jura, even though there were rated climbs with attacking by riders who were not in contention for the Yellow Jersey, the real Tour men held their fire, keeping their powder dry for the first big Alpine day.

That day came on the thirteenth stage, 254.5 kilometers from St. Gervais to Sestriere in Italy. The climbing was substantial. The riders faced the Saisies (category 2), the Cormet de Roseland (category 1), the Iseran ( hors category ), Mont-Cenis (category 1) and the first category climb to the finish at Sestriere.

Claudio Chiappucci was what Miguel Indurain wasn't. Where Indurain was cold, calculating, riding only to win and no more, knowing that whatever gaps he had allowed could be closed with a display of brute horsepower in the time trials, Chiappucci was the opposite. The Italian was willing to gamble, to take magnificent chances to gain time. He had to run these big risks knowing how vulnerable he was in the time trials. Indurain said that he had to have eyes on the back of his head when he raced Chiappucci.

Americans often express contempt for Chiappucci and his wild excursions and attempts to break away, failing to understand that his flamboyant style served him very well. His Grand Tour accomplishments are notable. Tour de France: twice second, a third and King of the Mountains. For the Giro: twice second plus a third, a fourth, a fifth along with 2 King of the Mountains and 1 Points jersey. This is consistent riding at the very highest level.

As he had done in the 1990 stage to Luz Ardiden, Chiappucci gambled and gambled big. The first major climb of the day was the Saisies. Chiappucci escaped with some other riders, but not with his main challengers, Bugno and Indurain. As far as they were concerned, this was far too early in such a monstrous stage to be taking off. By the time Chiappucci reached the top of the Iseran he was alone. Back in the leading group, the Banesto squad had at last recognized the threat. They assembled at the front and started working to bring the fleeing Italian back.

Bugno was riding the Tour to win. He knew that this was the Tour's moment, yet he was trapped with Indurain. He was stifled. Chiappucci was riding away with the race. He didn't want to escape and chase Chiappucci knowing he would be taking Indurain along. He finally decided that it was better to take his chances with Indurain rather than accept the sure loss of Chiappucci's riding to a mountain top win. Bugno knew that the solo Chiappucci would be finishing in Italy where the fanatical tifosi would lift him up the mountain with their thrilled and thrilling cheers.

When Bugno attacked, as expected, he took along Indurain as well as Andy Hampsten and Franco Vona. The great chase was on. I still remember how exciting it was on TV. I think nearly everyone watching was wishing the lone, brave Chiappucci up the mountains while surely, the inexorable, machine-like Indurain would run him down before the end of the stage.

Indurain couldn't catch his man. Chiappucci, after riding alone for 125 kilometers, celebrated a brilliant victory. Vona was only 1 minute, 34 seconds behind. Indurain, who ran out of gas on the final kilometers of the final climb, was third, 11 seconds behind Vona. Bugno and Hampsten were next behind him, another minute and a half down.

Chiappucci's big gamble didn't yield him the Yellow Jersey. Indurain had ridden well enough to put himself solidly in the lead. The General Classification after Sestriere:

The next stage was another Alpine stage with the Galibier, the Croix de Fer and a finish on L'Alpe d'Huez. All 3 were hors category climbs. Andy Hampsten was riding beautifully this year and this stage was the perfect showcase for his wonderful climbing abilities. He had been in the big break with Indurain on the big stage the day before and acquitted himself magnificently. Could he recover overnight from 5 major climbs and over 250 kilometers of racing and be able to take on the next day's monsters?

On the Croix de Fer, the penultimate climb, a couple of riders went clear of the highly reduced, Banesto-led peloton. Hampsten joined them with a couple of others. In the group of 5, importantly, was dangerman Franco Vona, who had come in second the day before. Well clear of the pack, they went over the crest of the Croix de Fer together. In the valley leading to L'Alpe d'Huez the group worked well together and continued to increase their advantage. They started up the Alpe with a lead of nearly 4 minutes. Hampsten started the climb at a good tempo and slowly wound it up, going from his 39-23 to the 21 and finally dropping to the 18! It's hard to explain to someone who has not ridden a climb of this severity ( hors category ) how completely beyond the normal human experience ascending a mountain this steep this fast after a day's racing really is. Only a few people in the world can do it.

With about 7 kilometers to go Hampsten was alone, riding to victory in the most prestigious of mountain stages. This was his seventh Tour and his first Tour stage victory. If you're going to win, you might as well win big.

Back down the hill, although Hampsten wasn't a General Classification threat to them, Indurain and Chiappucci pulled back almost a half-minute on the final climb, coming in together at 3 minutes, 15 seconds. Earlier in the stage, Gianni Bugno had cracked badly. He came in twenty-sixth, 9 minutes, 4 seconds after Hampsten. Greg LeMond, tortured with saddle sores, could take no more and abandoned. Hampsten catapulted himself onto the podium with his stage win. Here is the Overall after L'Alpe d'Huez:

The Tour then went over the Massif Central, but nothing happened to change the general order of the overall. The only stage left that could affect the General Classification was the nineteenth, a 64-kilometer individual time trial. Again, Indurain put real distance between himself and his competitors. Bugno was only 40 seconds behind on that stage, lifting himself back onto the podium after losing his place with his disastrous L'Alpe d'Huez stage. Chiappucci was about 3 minutes slower. Andy Hampsten was the real loser that day being 5 minutes, 33 seconds behind the mighty Spaniard and being pushed down to fourth place in the General Classification.

With only 2 stages left, the competition to win the Tour was over.

The final 1992 Tour de France General Classification:

Climbers' Competition:

Indurain had his second Tour and his first Giro-Tour double. Chiappucci not only came in second, he was King of the Mountains. It should be noted that Chiappucci had ridden so consistently that he was third in the race for the points leadership. After an exhausting battle with Belgian classics specialists Johan Museeuw, Laurent Jalabert won the Green Points jersey.

The 1992 Tour was the fastest to date with an average speed of 39.504 kilometers an hour.

Las clasificaciones generales, antes y después de Sestriere 1992, la etapa de mayor desnivel de la historia del Tour (y de las tres grandes vueltas, al menos en lo referente al ciclismo posterior a la Segunda Guerra Mundial).

Claudio Chiappucci se mete en una escapada a más de 220 kilómetros de la meta e irá deshaciéndose de todos sus rivales con el paso de los kilómetros y los puertos. Corona en solitario Iseran, Mont Cenis y, finalmente, Sestriere. Por detrás Indurain realiza tal destrozo que aquel Tour saldrá de Italia hecho un solar. No hay más que ver la Clasificación General tras aquella etapa mítica e histórica.

About Dinamo Elektrostal

Moscow’s Dinamo Elektrostal are gearing up for their fifth EHL season having frequently picked off impressive wins but have yet to top their particular group in their previous attempts.

They did get the best of arch rivals Dinamo Ak-Bars in both the Russian Cup and the Prometheus International tournament to show they are knocking on the door.

There has been a reasonable level of turnover from 2020 with Anton Noshin, Evgenii Mokrousov, Aleksei Godenkov and Ivan Zuikov joining the newly formed TsOP Moskomsport outfit. Danill Karagodin, Mikhail Nekludov and Ilya Larikov have all retired.

Their replacements are mostly youngsters with Dmitry Zheleznyakov, Aleksei Samylkin, Petr Agapov, Ilia Bartenev, Andrei Gribanov and Oleg Kulakov joining their line-up.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow. Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.

An excellent read! Thanks for much for sharing the Russian metro system with us. We're heading to Moscow in April and exploring the metro stations were on our list and after reading your post, I'm even more excited to go visit them. Thanks again 🙂
