The Closest Grand Tour of All Time: The 1984 Vuelta a España

By Dave Campbell — The 1989 Tour de France is widely held as the greatest Grand Tour of all time. With Greg Lemond’s eight second margin of victory, most people also believe that it was the closest. That honor, however, belongs to the 1984 Vuelta a España. The Vuelta has been held in September since 1995, but the previous fifty editions (the race was first run in 1935) were held in the cold and wet of early spring, usually from mid-April to early May. The 1984 Vuelta, the 39th edition, was won with a mere six-second gap by Frenchman Éric Caritoux of the Skil-Sem-Mavic-Reydel team.

The 23-year-old climbing specialist from Carpentras was in his second year as a professional in 1984. He won the Mont Ventoux stage of the Paris-Nice while helping his team captain Sean Kelly of Ireland win the race overall for the third year in succession. Despite domestique duties, he notched a fine eighth place overall for himself. Kelly was on a spring rampage (he would ultimately win 33 races!) that earned him the nicknames “King Kelly” and “The New Cannibal”. Caritoux served as a super domestique in March and April, aiding Kelly’s victories in the Critérium International and the Tour Pays Basque, where the young French rider finished a fine 6th himself. Skil team boss Jean de Gribaldy, the legendary “Viscount”, then gave Caritoux a few weeks off, with his next start scheduled for the Tour of Romandie in Switzerland in early May.

Caritoux was helping out the workers in his family vineyard in Provence just two days prior to the start of the 1984 Vuelta when he received a call from de Gribaldy. (Wilcockson, 1984). International cycling at this time, particularly in Spain, was not nearly as well-organized as it is today. De Gribaldy had heard nothing from the Spanish organizers of the Vuelta for weeks and assumed that the team’s proposed candidacy in the race had been cancelled. (Wilcockson, 1984). This was not the case, however, and he was threatened with a $50,000 fine if he didn’t get a team to the start line! The Skil riders not helping Kelly in the April Classics were needed at the Vuelta! Caritoux, on vacation no more, got himself to Geneva as quickly as possible to catch a plane for the South of Spain!

Little was expected of the hastily assembled Skil team in terms of results, and de Gribaldy sent an assistant to guide them as he was with Kelly in Belgium and France for the classics. The French team was largely ignored in the build-up to the race as a confrontation was predicted between Italian superstars Giuseppe Saronni and Francesco Moser and the strong Spanish contingent: Tour de France runner-up Angel Arroyo, 1983 Vuelta winner Pedro Delgado, Alberto Fernandez (3rd in both the 1983 Vuelta and Giro), Julian Gorospe, and 1982 Vuelta winner Marino Lejarreta. Caritoux told Winning Magazine, after holding the King of the Mountains jersey for most of Pays Basque that “I realized I was the equal to the Spaniards in the mountains, and I thought I would be able to finish in the top 10 of the Vuelta” (Wilcockson, 1984).

The 19 stage 3385 km event ran from April 17-May 5 and featured many interesting plots. Milan-San Remo winner and Hour Record Holder Francesco Moser convincingly won the prologue and led for the first six days. He was preparing for the Giro (which he would win) scheduled to begin just twelve days later. The Belgians dominated the field sprints of the opening week with Noël Dejonckheere (well known to American fans from the criteriums of the Coors Classic in Colorado) and Jozef Lieckens taking two apiece. Their compatriot Guido Van Calster of the Italian Del Tongo team won the other and his consistency throughout the Vuelta’s sprints (seven times on the podium) would ultimately earn him the points title. Stage six was won by another Belgian, the veteran Michel Pollentier, from a breakaway, before the race headed into the mountains.

Stage seven would finish atop Rasos de Peguera in the Spanish Pyrenees. Caritoux dropped Spaniard Fernandez and Colombians Edgar Corredor and José Patrocinio Jiménez (winner of the 1982 Coors Classic) to win the stage sixteen seconds clear of Delgado. Delgado took over the Amarillo (light yellow, not red like today) jersey of race leadership with Fernandez three seconds back and Caritoux in third. Overnight leader Moser was left six minutes adrift. Thrilled to win a stage, Caritoux still hoped for top ten but worried about his time trialing and lack of team support in the mountains against the combined might of the Colombians and Spaniards.

Another Belgian veteran, Classics legend Roger De Vlaeminck triumphed on stage eight into Zaragoza, while stages nine and ten were breakaway wins for Italians Orlando Maini and Palmiro Masciarelli, all with no change to the overall standings. Moser won another mass gallop into Santander on stage eleven with the queen stage to Lagos de Covadonga looming ahead for Stage 12.

Delgado, the defending champion who would eventually finish fourth still held the overall lead. Attacks were anticipated from Colombians Corredor and “Patro” Jiménez, but they never came. Instead, it was the surprising Caritoux, who launched 7 km from the rocky summit with only German Reimund Dietzen and Fernandez able to latch on. Fernandez proceeded to then attack no fewer than four times, but his two companions were always able to close the gap. Dietzen won the sprint for the stage, but the young Frenchman took the leaders jersey by 32 seconds over Fernandez. The following day was another field sprint and yet another stage win for the Belgians: this time Van Calster. The Stage 14 time trial, a 12-kilometer climb from Lugones to Monte Naranco, was handily won by Gorospe. The surprising Caritoux was second at 40 seconds, with Fernandez a further five seconds behind. The vine cutter not only kept his overall lead but increased it to 37 seconds.

According to Winning magazine, “the young Frenchman had to survive a whole barrage of abuse from the tightly packed, almost hysterical Spanish public. People spat at him as he passed, sprayed water into his face and hurled rolled-up newspapers at him. Hinault had withstood similar treatment in 1983, when stones were also among the missiles thrown at the unwelcome ‘foreign’ race leader (Wilcockson, 1984). Fernandez, reportedly played the role of gentleman peacemaker, publicly complimenting his rival but things only simmered down temporarily.

Spaniard Antonio Coll took a breakaway win on an innocuous stage 15 into Leon to soothe the host nation and yet another Belgian, Daniel Rossel, triumphed in a similar way into Valladolid the following day. The 258-kilometer Stage 17 featured four mountain passes and Caritoux reportedly made an agreement with Fernandez to help control the attacks of Reynolds teammates Gorospe and Delgado. It seemed to work to maintain the status quo, turning the stage into a seven-and-a-half-hour slog through rain and snow, which was won solo by José Recio with all the favorites finishing together. The only things remaining between Caritoux and final victory were a short morning road stage, a decisive afternoon time trial, and the celebratory finale into Madrid.

The morning stage changed nothing. Everything rested on the 33-kilometer test in Torrejón de Ardoz. Caritoux told Winning Magazine “I’m inclined to make Fernandez the favorite, I think he has a 60% chance of winning this Vuelta” (Wilcockson, 1984). The interim Skil manager requested two motorcycle police escorts to accompany the race leader through the massive crowds that gathered on the roadside. It was a dramatic conclusion to the Spanish Grand Tour with the partisan crowd roaring on their favorite Fernandez and Caritoux enduring something entirely different behind. “Caritoux was trying to make the most of his overly upright style and pedaling an unnaturally high gear through another barrage of paper balls and abuse” (Wilcockson, 1984). It was even reported that the Frenchman had to repeatedly swerve to avoid tall weeds that some spectators threw towards his sprockets! At half-distance, he appeared defeated having lost over half his leading margin.

When the dust had settled, Gorospe had won the tumultuous stage, again with a large margin, and Fernandez was fifth 54 seconds in arrears. And the besieged vacationer from France? He rallied to finish ninth,1:25 behind, thus preserving a precious six-second cushion! The final day’s promenade into Madrid would change nothing as Dejonckheere joyously pipped Van Calster in the bunch gallop. A humble Fernandez, who sadly would die in a car crash later that year, raised his foreign rival’s arm on the podium in triumph to silence the Spanish crowd. Caritoux, however, did not get to return to his well-earned rest in the vineyards as de Gribaldy had another plane waiting in the airport to whisk him off to Switzerland for the Tour of Romandie, which began the very next day!

1984 Tour de France quick facts

The 1984 Tour had 23 stages plus a prologue that totaled 4020.9 kilometers.

It was ridden at an average speed of 34.906 km/hr.

170 riders started and there were 124 classified finishers.

Defending Tour champion Laurent Fignon displayed an incredible mastery over all his competitors in the 1984 edition. His teammate Vincent Barteau gained a huge amount of time in a 3-man break during stage 5.

With Barteau in yellow, Fignon had the luxury of riding conservatively and letting the other competitors, notably Bernard Hinault, try to take the lead.

As Barteau faltered in stage 17 with its hilltop finish at L'Alpe d'Huez, Fignon took over. Hinault desperately attacked Fignon in stage 18, but Fignon was riding in a state of grace.

At the end of Stage 16 he was in second place, down 6 minutes, 29 seconds. By the end of stage 18, he had carved a lead of 8 minutes, 39 seconds.

Greg Lemond's third place made him the first American to make the Tour's final podium.

Complete Final 1984 Tour de France General Classification

Sports are cruel. L'Équipe describes the 1984 Tour as an intergenerational conflict. Fignon at 23 represented the new guard and Hinault, at the ripe old age of 29 was of an older demographic cohort, close to being ready for the ashheap.

Fignon is an interesting character. He was nicknamed "The Professor" because of his scholarly appearance with his oval wire-framed glasses and his time in college. When interviewed in later years about his cycling accomplishments, he is strangely diffident, saying that what he did wasn't terribly important. He's rather like Marlon Brando in this way. When Brando talked about acting he would ask why there was so much fuss about such an unimportant pursuit. Both men had striven for years to become the best in the world at their craft, yet both were often oddly dismissive of the entire source of their reputations and fame. A pose? In Fignon's case, I think not. Fignon is an intelligent, thoughtful man who always had a prickly edge to his personality.

But for a couple of years, god, could he ride a bike, his own oblique, non-denial of drug use in later years notwithstanding.

Coming to the Tour, he was sporting the tricolor jersey of the Champion of France. He came in second in the Giro, losing the leader's Pink Jersey to Francesco Moser on the final day, a time trial. The Giro was clearly stolen from Fignon. The highest mountain stage was cancelled in order to keep Moser from losing gobs of time to Fignon, the superior climber. The Giro organizers claimed that snow was blocking the pass, but pictures were produced showing clear roads. Then in the time trial, Fignon was the victim of another outrage. The television helicopter flew low and in front of Fignon, creating a headwind, while Moser was followed by the helicopter, creating a tailwind. The numerous pushes Moser received from the fans when he was climbing in the high mountains were also ignored by the officials.

And that, in a nutshell, explains why the Giro is only an important regional race and the Tour de France is the Holy Grail of cycling.

Hinault switched teams. He left Cyrille Guimard and Renault and went to a new team, La Vie Claire, which sported very distinctive Mondrian-inspired jerseys. After his knee operation Hinault had told Renault to choose between himself and the team manager Cyrille Guimard. With Guimard's stunning record as a manager, they intelligently made the long-term decision to stick with Guimard. Hinault said that a major reason for the change was the desire to have a greater say in team management. Given the strong-willed Breton's temperament, this is not hard to believe. Further, either Hinault or Fignon had to change teams. It would be impossible for 2 of the finest racers in France to be on the same team, competing for the same victory. That never works, as we will see in a couple of years.

Hinault's spring racing seemed to say that he had not returned with his old punch. The time out of competition while his knee was repaired was not without cost. Returning to the highest levels of sporting fitness takes time. He did win the 4 Days of Dunkirk, but he came in second in the Dauphiné Libéré and third in Paris–Nice. His Classics placings weren't inspiring either.

Round 1: Hinault. Hinault won the Prologue for the fourth time, beating his former teammate Fignon by 3 seconds. Jacques Anquetil said that if he were Hinault, he would not have tipped his hand and let the others know that he was in such fine form by winning something as unimportant as a Prologue. For Hinault, I don't think there was ever an unimportant Tour win.

But wait, who's this at ninth with the same time as Zoetemelk and Stephen Roche? American racer Greg LeMond finished only 12 seconds behind the finest living time trialist and beat one of the only men to ever best Hinault in a time trial when he was at the top, Gerrie Knetemann. LeMond was riding his first Tour this year and was on Guimard's Renault team with Laurent Fignon. Showing signs of first-Tour jitters, LeMond had forgotten the mandatory sign-in and was still tightening his toe straps when the starter finished his countdown.

LeMond had entered his time of glory. The year before he won the Dauphiné Libéré in the spring, and in the fall became World Champion. His victory in the Worlds was a stunning solo win after more than 7 hours of racing. He showed both extraordinary strength and endurance and the ability to read a race. LeMond often displayed a superb understanding of the psychology of the peloton. He could also be caught strangely unaware and flat-footed, a defect that would cost him dearly later in his career.

Round 2: Renault and Fignon. Renault won the stage 3 team time trial. Hinault's La Vie Claire team was a distant seventh at 55 seconds. The stage victory wasn't enough to give a Renault rider the Yellow Jersey, but it put Renault riders Fignon, Madiot and LeMond well up in the General Classification. The Colombian team, inexperienced in the highly technical and precise event, was last in the 51-kilometer stage. Their manager joked that the Colombian team fell apart in the final 50 kilometers.

The General Classification after the team time trial stood thus:

Stage 5 had one of those dopey early breaks that no one expects to succeed, unless success is defined as time on the world's televisions. 3 riders took off in search of TV time: Paolo Ferreira, Maurice Le Guilloux and Vincent Barteau. Ferreira was a member of the unimportant (to this story, at least) Sporting Lisboa team. But Le Guilloux was a member of Hinault's La Vie Claire squad and Barteau was a Renault. The 2 most important teams in the Tour were neutralized because they would not chase down their own team members. Moreover, the politics of Northern European racing had created an intense rivalry between the Raleigh-Panasonic team and Kwantum. This intensity paralyzed them and strangely prevented their chasing the break because neither had a rider up the road and they often, as in this case, only worried about each other. The break's lead grew. At the end of the stage they were 17 minutes, 42 seconds ahead of the listless peloton. It was thought that Barteau would easily win the sprint but Ferreira stunned everyone by crossing the line first.

This gave the crafty Guimard (and he was probably racing's finest tactician) another card to play. His Vincent Barteau was now the Yellow Jersey. Le Guilloux was 1 minute, 33 seconds behind Barteau. Round 3 to Guimard.

Stage 6 was a sprinter's stage but it did have a lasting effect. Sean Kelly threw an elbow at Gilbert Glaus in the sprint and was relegated to one-hundred-fortieth place. The loss of the second-place points in the Green Jersey competition cost him dearly. At the end of the Tour, Frank Hoste ended up beating Kelly by only 4 points for the Green Jersey. With a cleaner sprint in stage 6 Kelly would have had the 1984 Green Jersey in his collection.

The first real contest to see who was ready to race was the 67-kilometer individual time trial of stage 7. Riding better than he had dared hope, Fignon beat Hinault where he lived, winning the stage and putting Hinault another 49 seconds back. The General Classification was already starting to sort itself out.

Hinault's third place in the time trial (Sean Kelly also finished ahead of him) brought about a change to Hinault's attitude and tactics. He understood that this Tour would be tough to win. He started to fight hard for the intermediate sprint bonus seconds. In stage 9, Hinault and Kelly had dueled for the third of the intermediate sprints. After Hinault had won the sprint they looked back at the peloton and saw that they had created a sizable gap. They put their heads down and pressed on with several other riders who had also detached themselves in the sprint. Caught napping because they expected the sprinters to slow and rejoin the peloton were LeMond, Fignon, Zoetemelk and Stephen Roche. A chase was organized and the 2 groups hammered down the road to Bordeaux at 60 kilometers an hour. Finally, facing a headwind and realizing that the gain would be too small for the effort, the Hinault/Kelly group sat up. But Hinault had once again shown that he was always willing to attack any time and any place. And Guimard, with his young team, had also proven that he could respond to the Badger's best efforts.

No one expected Barteau or his breakaway companions to come out of the mountains with their lead intact. But Barteau had some steel in his spine.

There was only 1 Pyrenean stage, 226 kilometers that went over the Portet d'Aspet, the Core, Latrape and a first category ascent to Guzet-Neige. Robert Millar was the angel with wings, winning stage 11 and leaving his closest follower, the Colombian Luis Herrera, 41 seconds behind. LeMond, getting over a cold that had been bothering him, had trouble and got dropped on the first climb. Being a superb descender he regained contact and through sheer determination, managed to finish sixteenth, not far behind Hinault. Fignon, sensing weakness in Hinault, wanted to attack well before the finish. Guimard, wary of the Badger, told Fignon to hold his fire until 3 kilometers from the summit, thus making it unlikely that Hinault would be able to regroup and respond. It worked perfectly and Fignon took almost a minute out of Hinault. Barteau stunned almost everyone by finishing only a little behind LeMond. He was still in Yellow.

Stage 11 results:

That left the General Classification thus:

Round 4 to Renault.

Barteau was proving to be rather strongly attached to the Yellow Jersey. He survived the Pyrenees with a loss of only 2 minutes. With their teammate in Yellow, Fignon and LeMond could sit on. If someone wanted to take the Yellow from Barteau, he would have to attack and get past Fignon, who was riding as he normally did, coolly, with no unneeded expenditure of energy.

Hinault now seemed unworried about such plebian concerns as conserving his strength for the best possible, most efficient moment to take back the needed time and went on the offensive. He has often said that his normal way was to attack if he felt weak or at a loss. It's a noble sentiment, but sometimes, just as when Lee sent Pickett and his brave Confederates to charge men in a fortified position, nobility on those terms can be suicidal. As Tour founder Henri Desgrange said, it's la tête et les jambes (head and legs). It didn't seem that Hinault had the legs and he damn sure wasn't using his head.

Stage 14 went through the rolling countryside of the Massif Central. Faded Belgian hope Fons de Wolf, in an extraordinary exploit, went on a long solo break. At one point he had put 25 minutes between himself and the peloton. By the time the stage was over he still had 17 minutes, 40 seconds and had temporarily lifted himself to fourth place in the General Classification. The next day he paid for his effort and finished 23 minutes behind the stage winner Frédéric Vichot.

While Hinault may have been riding with a touch of an air of desperation, Fignon had also changed. He seemed to be getting stronger and was obviously growing more confident. On the day that de Wolf won, Hinault had attacked hard for second place in the stage. Fignon easily sped by the Badger causing Raymond Poulidor to pronounce himself astonished at Fignon. The next day Fignon won the field sprint.

The coming days held a 22-kilometer time trial and the Alpine stages. Even though he was riding in a state of grace, Fignon said that with only a 2-minute lead over Hinault, the slightest weakness would cost him dearly.

Stage 16 was an individual time trial with a tough 800-meter climb in the final half. Seeming to fly up the final kilometers of the mountain, Fignon beat Hinault, this time by 33 seconds.

Stage 17 was when things really got sorted out. It was a trip to the top of l'Alpe d'Huez passing over 3 other highly rated climbs on the way. Hinault had hoped that he could wear down his young rival. This seemed like an empty hope as Fignon was demonstrating a mastery that was Hinault's only a few years ago.

Hinault attacked 5 times on the penultimate climb, the Laffrey. Each time Fignon rode back to him. After the fifth assault Fignon was without teammates and the front group had been reduced to the climbing elite of the Tour. Then it was Fignon's turn. Fignon and Luis Herrera separated themselves from the others. They did this without specifically attacking. They just rode faster than any other rider could. Over the top and on the descent Hinault chased like a madman. Riding through the valley leading up to the steep hairpins of l'Alpe d'Huez Hinault caught the duo. Like a shark with the smell of blood in the water, the furious Hinault attacked and put some distance between himself and the Fignon/Herrera pair.

Looking back, Fignon said that the attack in no way concerned him. He said he thought Hinault's effort laughable. Herrera set a blistering pace up the mountain with Fignon, Millar and Arroyo on his wheel and caught Hinault. As Herrera raced for the summit, Fignon was the last man dropped by the flying Colombian. Looking at the stage results below, one can see that Robert Millar was over 3 minutes behind Herrera. Fignon's superiority to a specialist climber like Millar on what should be his ideal terrain gives an idea of the magnificent form Fignon enjoyed in 1984.

Round 5 and the fight to Fignon. Herrera’s stage win was the first by a Colombian, non-European, and amateur.

Stage 17 results:

The consequences of the stage were immense.

Barteau's dream was over. He had to give up the Yellow Jersey to Laurent Fignon.

Luis Herrera became the first Colombian in Tour History to win a stage. Herrera was having a fabulous year with a near win in the Red Zinger Classic. After his L'Alpe d'Huez stage victory the president of Colombia called him. The entire country had watched the stage at night (Colombian time) as their countryman showed that he was as good as Europe's best. Since then, Herrera's life in today's war-ravaged Colombia has been tough. He's been kidnapped twice and has to pay protection money regularly just to be left alone.

The angry, raging Hinault had lost 3 minutes to Fignon, but he was in no way subdued. He was looking for another opportunity to try to savage his competitors. Fignon, on the other hand, seemed to enjoy tormenting Hinault in press interviews. Samuel Abt put Fignon's attitude nicely, "If you couldn't kick a man when he was down, when could you kick him?"

The General Classification after stage 17:

The next stage was challenging. It included the Galibier, the Madeleine and a finish at La Plagne. All 3 were Hors Category climbs. Hinault was soon dropped by the leaders and chased back on. By this point Hinault was so reduced in circumstances that he, the Patron of the peloton, attacked in the feed zone. He was soon brought up short for that move by Fignon and LeMond's Renault team. He was again dropped on the Madeleine and chased back on the descent

Ever the patient man, Fignon assumed command on the final climb to La Plagne, dropping everyone, even the Colombians. This was the last element Fignon needed both to put the icing on the cake of this Tour and to silence those critics who carped that Fignon had not yet won a high mountain stage. He did this time, completely dominating his competitors. Hinault finished the stage in tenth place, almost 3 minutes behind Fignon. LeMond finished third in the stage, lifting him from fifth to third place in the Overall, only 1 minute, 13 seconds behind second place Hinault. Hinault trailed the flying Fignon in the General Classification by a giant 8 minutes, 39 seconds.

Two days later Fignon did it again, winning stage 20 alone on the hilltop finish at Crans-Montana.

Stage 22, the Tour's penultimate stage was a 51-kilometer individual time trial. Fignon won again, although Sean Kelly, when the times were rounded to the nearest second, finished with the same time. Hinault lost another 36 seconds.

The final General Classification of the 1984 Tour de France:

Bernard Hinault earned the admiration of cycling fans for his refusal to give up. Every day he went out looking for some chink in Fignon's armor, some way to break his young rival. It wasn't to be. In 1984 Laurent Fignon was vastly superior to any other rider and was never seriously challenged. With complete command of the race, he could and did ride patiently, opening up time on his rivals when it suited him.

France-Espagne – finale de 1984 : la première fois où les Bleus ont gagné

  27 juin 1984.

20 heures. 47 368 spectateurs dans les tribunes d’un Parc des Princes en feu. Il fait beau, il fait chaud, c’est la finale du Championnat d’Europe : France-Espagne .

Quelques jours plus tôt, les Français se sont qualifiés pour la finale à Marseille, au cours d’une rencontre épique (3-2) face au Portugal, et ainsi  avoir l'honneur de tenter de gravir l’ultime marche de cet Euro.

En France, tout le monde est sur le cul ! Pensez donc, l’équipe de France de football en finale d’une grande compétition, ça n’était jamais arrivé. Bien sûr, les Bleus surfent sur une dynamique porteuse avec, lors de ces six dernières années une qualif’ en 1978 pour le mondial argentin suivie, quatre ans plus tard, en Espagne, tiens donc, d'une place de demi-finaliste (faut-il encore l’évoquer) face à la RFA. La poisse colle aux baskets de nos Bleus,  et rien à se mettre d’autre sous les crampons que des places d’honneur. Alors ce soir, on joue chez nous, on va au bout bordel !

Et puis objectivement, on a bien des raisons d’y croire. Le parcours des Bleus, exemplaire avant d’aborder cette dernière rencontre au Parc. Lors de la phase de poules de ce championnat à seulement huit équipes, les coéquipiers de Platoche ont ainsi remporté leurs trois matchs (Danemark, Belgique et Yougoslavie), dont un carton contre la Belgique 5-0. Platini justement, a déjà planté à sept reprises avant la demie, dont quelques pions d’anthologie, notamment contre les Yougo’ – comment oublier sa tête plongeante et son coup-franc. Et cette demi-finale donc, remportée au forceps et au bout d'un insoutenable suspense contre les coéquipiers de Chalana et Jordao.

Face à la France , l’Espagne , dont la qualification pour la finale tiendrait presque du miracle (deux matchs nuls et une seule victoire 1-0 face à la RFA en poule et une qualification en finale aux tirs au but contre le Danemark). De quoi être optimiste ? Peut-on l'être tout à fait lorsqu’on n'a jamais goûté à la victoire finale... Les 45 premières minutes confirment que c'est loin d'être gagné. La rencontre est tendue, hachée, les actions peu nombreuses pour la France, ça sent le piège à cons : Pouah, il faudrait un coup de pouce du destin…

Il va se produire, à la 57 ème minute. Coup-franc pour les Bleus à l’entrée et au centre de la surface de réparation espagnole. Michel Platini , qui a ajouté un 8 ème but personnel à son compteur contre le Portugal, enveloppe son ballon. Le cuir décolle à peine du sol, vrille un peu, sa puissance est faible. Arconada, le gardien de la Roja, a parfaitement anticipé sur sa gauche, il s’empare du ballon. Et puis non ! le fait rouler sous son ventre - la bourde est déconcertante - , jusqu’à lui faire finir sa course au fond des filets !! La France mène 1-0, Platini, Tigana, Giresse et tous les Bleus (les Espagnols aussi d'ailleurs) sont incrédules.

Le reste du match est électrique, Yvon Le Roux, un de nos défenseurs au physique de déménageur qui ne bosserait pas tous les jours, prend un rouge. Ca ne va pas recommencer, pas à domicile, pas ce soir ! Non, au contraire, à la 90 ème minute, d’un amour de pichenette Lucky Luke Bruno Bellone, mis sur orbite par Jeannot, envoie la France vers son 1 er titre international, sa première véritable victoire. Entre-temps, Patrick Battiston, grand seigneur, aura même simulé une blessure pour faire participer à la fête son pote Manuel Amoros.

Santillana, Camacho, Carrasco et toute l’Espagne sont dépités. Arconada, sans doute déjà en fuite vers une terre d’exil. Hidalgo lui, peut pleurer de joie, comme tout son groupe, comme  tout le pays. L’équipe de France de football qui gagne est née. D’autres victoires suivront, bien plus tard, mais aucune n'aura jamais, pour moi, la même saveur que celle de ce 27 juin 1984.
