The '''2002 Tour de France''' was a [[race stage|multiple-stage]] [[bicycle racing|bicycle race]] held from 6 to 28 July, and the 89th edition of the [[Tour de France]]. The event started in [[Luxembourg City, Luxembourg|Luxembourg]] and ended in Paris. The Tour circled France counter-clockwise, visiting the [[Pyrenees]] before the [[Alps]]. It has no overall winner—although American cyclist [[Lance Armstrong]] originally won the event, the [[United States Anti-Doping Agency]] announced in August 2012 that they had disqualified Armstrong from all his results since 1998, including his seven Tour de France wins from [[1999 Tour de France|1999]] to [[2005 Tour de France|2005]]; the [[Union Cycliste Internationale]] confirmed the result.

The favourite was Armstrong, who was, at the time, the winner in the 1999, 2000 and [[2001 Tour de France|2001]] races. The main opposition would probably come from the ONCE team with [[Joseba Beloki]] (3rd last year), [[Igor González de Galdeano]] (5th last year) and [[Marcos Serrano]] (9th last year), and from the Kelme riders [[Óscar Sevilla]] (7th last year, 2nd in last year's [[Vuelta a España]]) and [[Santiago Botero]] (8th last year). Other riders to keep in account for a high place in the final rankings were [[Tyler Hamilton]] (2nd Giro 2002), [[Levi Leipheimer]] (3rd Vuelta 2001), [[Christophe Moreau]] (4th Tour 2000) and Armstrong's teammate [[Roberto Heras]] (4th Vuelta 2001). Important riders who were not present were [[Jan Ullrich]] (2nd last year, injury) and [[Gilberto Simoni]] (winner 2001 Giro).

==Race overview==

[[File:Mont Ventoux.JPG|thumb|Riders on the way to [[Mont Ventoux]] on the fourteenth stage]]
The Prologue was won by [[Lance Armstrong]] with [[Laurent Jalabert]] and [[Raimondas Rumšas]] coming in 2nd and 3rd respectively. Armstrong and his incredibly dominant US Postal team were not concerned with defending the [[Yellow Jersey]] in the early flat stages and it changed hands a few times. First it went to [[Rubens Bertogliati]] who wore it during Stage 2 and Stage 3, where [[Robbie McEwen]] defeated [[Erik Zabel]] in the sprint gaining enough time for the latter to wear the maillot jaune in Stage 4, which was a Team Time Trial. Team [[ONCE–Eroski]] won the TTT and their rider [[Igor González de Galdeano]] took over the overall lead. At this point in the Tour all of the Top 10 overall riders were either members of team ONCE or US Postal Cycling Team, but with two more ITT's and the Mountain stages to come this meant nothing as far as the overall standings, although it did make clear the fact that these two teams were in command within the [[Peloton]].

The ensuing flat stages were won by [[Jaan Kirsipuu]], Erik Zabel, [[Bradley McGee]] and [[Karsten Kroon]] and by the end of Stage 8 places 1-7 were all riders for ONCE with Gonzalez leading his teammate [[Joseba Beloki]] by :04 for the overall lead as the next riders from other teams were Armstrong in 8th and [[Tyler Hamilton]] of team CSC in 9th.

Stage 9 was an Individual Time Trial won by [[Santiago Botero]] and perhaps surprisingly seven riders finished within one minute of the stage winner when it was assumed by pundits that very few riders would keep Armstrong (who finished 2nd) that close and nobody would beat him. Following the ITT Gonzalez was still in Yellow leading the GC with Armstrong in 2nd overall, Beloki in 3rd and because of their strong performances in the ITT [[Serhiy Gonchar]] and Botero moved into 4th and 5th place in the General Classification.

Stage 10 was a hilly stage with a sprint finish won by [[Patrice Halgand]] of team Jean Latour. In places 2-11 were [[Jérôme Pineau]] of team Bonjour, [[Stuart O'Grady]] of Credit Agricole, [[Ludo Dierckxsens]] of Lampre, [[Pedro Horrillo]] of Mapei, [[Andy Flickinger]] of AG2R, [[Nicolas Vogondy]] of FDJ, [[Nico Mattan]] of Cofidis, [[Constantino Zaballa]] of Kelme, [[Enrico Cassani]] of Domo and [[Unai Extebarria]] of Euskadel.

Spanish team ONCE with Beloki, Gonzalez and [[Abraham Olano]], and American team US Postal with Armstrong, a young [[Floyd Landis]], [[Viatcheslav Ekimov]] and the dominant Spanish rider [[Roberto Heras]], a former [[Vuelta a España]] champion, would have the battle for the 2002 Tour de France in the mountains.

In Stage 11 [[Laurent Jalabert]] lead the stage from kilometre 6 all the way until kilometre 155 when Armstrong caught and dropped him 3&nbsp;km from the finish. US Postal controlled the pace of the Peloton for most of the race. Heras lead the way setting such a high pace that most of Armstrong's rivals were dropped before Armstrong even had to put in any work of his own, but when Armstrong finally did attack only his own teammate Heras and Beloki could stay with him, but before long Armstrong was on his own headed for the Yellow Jersey.

In Stage 12 Jalabert attacked early again with [[Isidro Nozal]] and [[Laurent Dufaux]] going with him. About halfway through the stage the chase-1 group was about 3:00 behind with [[Richard Virenque]], [[Eddy Mazzoleni]] and [[Alexandre Botcharov]] while once again US Postal with [[George Hincapie]] at the front dictated the pursuit of the main field/peloton just over 4:00 behind Jalabert, who was once again caught less than 10&nbsp;km from the finish after leading the race for most of the day.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bikeraceinfo.com/tdf/tdf2002.html|title = 2002 Tour de France results  |access-date=17 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617065855/http://www.bikeraceinfo.com/tdf/tdf2002.html|archive-date=17 June 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

Once again Heras fractured the group of the final ten elite riders left with only Armstrong and Beloki able to match his pace and once again when Armstrong launched his attack neither Heras or Beloki could go with him as they finished 2nd and 3rd to him 1:04 behind. Botero and Gonzalez were able to get within seven seconds of Heras and Beloki while Rumsas and [[Carlos Sastre]] finished about a minute and a half behind Armstrong.

Stage 13 was an intermediate stage and in the [[green jersey]] sprinters competition Erik Zabel and Robbie McEwen were only separated by one point. Laurent Jalabert's relentless attacks and combative riding was paying off as not only was he in the Polka Dot Jersey as [[King of the Mountains]] but he had also moved into a top 10 position in the overall standings. The stage was won by [[David Millar]] as the GC situation remained the same.

Armstrong would only build on his lead as the race progressed and by the time the Tour crossed [[Mont Ventoux]], the [[Alps]] and arrived in Paris Beloki was still 2nd more than 7:00 behind as Rumsas completed the podium with Colombian rider Botero in 4th and Gonzalez in 5th. [[White Jersey]] winner [[Ivan Basso]] would finish 11th overall and would become one of the only serious challengers to [[Lance Armstrong]] in the coming Tours.<ref name="cn-stage20">{{cite news|last=Jones|first=Jeff|title=McEwen ends in green with Champs-Élysées win|url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2002/tour02/?id=results/stage20|access-date=1 September 2016|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=28 July 2002|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716101737/http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2002/tour02/?id=results%2Fstage20|archive-date=16 July 2011|url-status=live}}</ref>

Following the [[USADA]] decision ten years later, which was confirmed by the UCI, Armstrong had this, and every result after 1998 vacated. It was also decided it was best for the sport and as an example to riders of future generations that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th place riders would not be moved up to 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

===Doping===

{{see also|Lance Armstrong doping case}}

Subsequent to Armstrong's statement to withdraw his fight against [[United States Anti-Doping Agency]]'s (USADA) charges, on 24 August 2012, the USADA said it would ban Armstrong for life and stripped him of his record seven Tour de France titles.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/othersports/lance-armstrong-faces-lifetime-ban-from-usada-tour-de-france-titles-in-jeopardy/2012/08/24/053a2320-ed98-11e1-9ddc-340d5efb1e9c_story.html| title=Lance Armstrong will be banned from cycling by USADA after saying he won't fight doping charges| newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]| date=24 August 2012| access-date=24 August 2012| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121014160449/http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/othersports/lance-armstrong-faces-lifetime-ban-from-usada-tour-de-france-titles-in-jeopardy/2012/08/24/053a2320-ed98-11e1-9ddc-340d5efb1e9c_story.html| archive-date=14 October 2012| url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=USADA to ban Armstrong for life, strip Tour titles|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/usada-to-ban-armstrong-for-life-strip-tour-titles/|work=[[CBS News]]|access-date=24 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120824162637/http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-400_162-57499550/usada-to-ban-armstrong-for-life-strip-tour-titles/|archive-date=24 August 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> Later that day it was confirmed in a USADA statement that Armstrong was banned for life and would be disqualified from any and all competitive results obtained on and subsequent to 1 August 1998, including forfeiture of any medals, titles, winnings, finishes, points and prizes.<ref name="armstrong-usda" /> On 22 October 2012, the [[Union Cycliste Internationale]] endorsed the USADA sanctions, and decided not to award victories to any other rider or upgrade other placings in any of the affected events.<ref name="armstrong-bbc" />

==Classification leadership and minor prizes==

There were several classifications in the 2002 Tour de France.{{sfn|Nauright|Parrish|2012|pp=452–455}} The most important was the [[general classification in the Tour de France|general classification]], calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. The cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey; the winner of this classification is considered the winner of the Tour.{{sfn|Nauright|Parrish|2012|pp=452–453}}

Additionally, there was a [[points classification in the Tour de France|points classification]], which awarded a green jersey. In the points classification, cyclists got points for finishing among the best in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and was identified with a green jersey.{{sfn|Nauright|Parrish|2012|pp=453–454}}

There was also a [[mountains classification in the Tour de France|mountains classification]]. The organisation had categorised some climbs as either ''[[hors catégorie]]'', first, second, third, or fourth-category; points for this classification were won by the first cyclists that reached the top of these climbs first, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and wore a white jersey with red [[polka dot]]s.{{sfn|Nauright|Parrish|2012|p=454}}

The fourth individual classification was the [[Young rider classification in the Tour de France|young rider classification]], which was marked by the white jersey. This was decided the same way as the general classification, but only riders under 26 years were eligible.{{sfn|Nauright|Parrish|2012|pp=454–455}}

For the [[Team classification in the Tour de France|team classification]], the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added; the leading team was the team with the lowest total time.{{sfn|Nauright|Parrish|2012|p=455}}

In addition, there was a [[Combativity award in the Tour de France|combativity award]] given after each [[Mass start|mass-start]] stage to the cyclist considered most combative, who wore a red number bib the next stage. The decision was made by a jury composed of journalists who gave points. The cyclist with the most points from votes in all stages led the combativity classification.{{sfn|van den Akker|2018|pp=211–216}} Laurent Jalabert won this classification, and was given overall the super-combativity award.<ref name="letour-combativity-final">{{cite web|title=Tour de France 2002 – Overall combativity standings|url=http://www.letour.fr/2002/us/classements.oft?service=RaceServer&RaceType=TDF&RaceYear=2002&StageNumber=2000&Language=ANG&StandingType=ICG|work=Tour de France|publisher=[[Amaury Sport Organisation]]|access-date=4 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050318015900/http://www.letour.fr/2002/us/classements.oft?service=RaceServer&RaceType=TDF&RaceYear=2002&StageNumber=2000&Language=ANG&StandingType=ICG|archive-date=18 March 2005|url-status=dead}}</ref>

There were also two special awards each with a prize of €3000, the [[Souvenir Henri Desgrange]], given in honour of Tour founder and first race director [[Henri Desgrange]] to the first rider to pass the summit of the [[Col du Galibier]] on stage 16, and the [[Souvenir Jacques Goddet]], given in honour of the second director [[Jacques Goddet]] to the first rider to pass the summit of the [[Col d'Aubisque]] on stage 11. Santiago Botero won the Henri Desgrange and Laurent Jalabert won the Jacques Goddet.<ref>{{cite news|last=Maloney|first=Tim|title=Boogerd Boogie-Woogies to win in La Plagne|url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2002/tour02/?id=results/stage16|access-date=2 March 2019|work=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=24 July 2002|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190302162142/http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2002/tour02/?id=results%2Fstage16|archive-date=2 March 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Maloney|first=Tim|title=Armstrong powers to stage win and maillot jaune|url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2002/tour02/?id=results/stage11|access-date=4 March 2019|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=18 July 2002|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716102914/http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2002/tour02/?id=results%2Fstage11|archive-date=2011-07-16|url-status=live}}</ref>
