(12.08.1960 – 31.08.2010)
His pink jersey as winner of the 1989 Giro d’Italia
Laurent Fignon is regarded as one of the greatest French cyclists of his generation. A professional from 1982 to 1993, he stood out for his tactical intelligence, his attacking style and his skills as both a time-trialist and a climber.
A two-time winner of the Tour de France, in 1983 and 1984, he also won Milan–San Remo in 1988 and 1989. His 1989 season remains legendary: following his victory in the Giro d’Italia, he finished second in the Tour de France, beaten by Greg LeMond by just eight seconds.
This artefact is a pink jersey worn by Laurent Fignon during his victory in the 1989 Giro d’Italia. Riding for Système U, Laurent Fignon took the lead in the general classification during the second half of the race and retained the pink jersey right up to the final finish in Florence. He won the Giro ahead of the Italian Flavio Giupponi, who finished 1 minute and 15 seconds behind, and the defending champion, the American Andrew Hampsten. This victory made Fignon the third Frenchman to add his name to the Giro d’Italia’s roll of honour, following Jacques Anquetil and Bernard Hinault.
This jersey commemorates one of Laurent Fignon’s greatest victories and an exceptional season in his career.
Its official markings, the handwritten letter from his team manager Dominique GARDE (F) and photographs of the champion wearing the same kit reinforce its historical value. On display in the Virtual Cycling Museum – Noël GREGOIRE Collections, it stands as a remarkable testament to the 1989 Giro and the career of one of France’s most iconic champions.
