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 consecutive Tour de France wins from 1999 to 2005 ( which were , originally , the most wins in the event 's history ) ; the Union Cycliste Internationale confirmed the result . There were no French stage winners for the first time since the 1926 Tour de France . Additionally , Mario Cipollini won 4 stages in a row , setting the post-World War II record for consecutive stage wins ( breaking the record of three , set by Gino Bartali in 1948 . ) Contents 1 Teams 2 Route and stages 3 Race overview 3.1 Doping 3.2 Other incidents 4 Classification leadership 5 Final standings 5.1 General classification 5.2 Points classification 5.3 Mountains classification 5.4 Young rider classification 5.5 Team classification 5.6 Combativity classification 6 Notes and references 6.1 Footnotes 6.2 References 6.3 Sources 7 Further reading 8 External links Teams ( edit ) For a more comprehensive list , see List of teams and cyclists in the 1999 Tour de France . After the doping controversies in the 1998 Tour de France , the Tour organisation banned some riders from the race , including Richard Virenque , Laurent Roux and Philippe Gaumont , manager Manolo Saiz and the entire TVM -- Farm Frites team . Virenque 's team Polti then appealed at the UCI against this decision , and the UCI then forced the organisers of the Tour , Amaury Sport Organisation ( ASO ) , to allow Virenque and Saiz entry in the Tour . Initially , the Vini Caldirola team had been selected , but after their team leader Serhiy Honchar failed a blood test in the 1999 Tour de Suisse , the ASO removed Vini Caldirola from the starting list , and replaced them by Cantina Tollo -- Alexia Alluminio , the first reserve team . Each team was allowed to field nine cyclists . The teams entering the race were : Qualified teams Mapei -- Quick - Step Rabobank ONCE -- Deutsche Bank Team Polti Saeco Macchine per Caffè -- Cannondale Lotto -- Mobistar Casino -- Ag2r Prévoyance Mercatone Uno -- Bianchi Kelme -- Costa Blanca Cofidis Vitalicio Seguros Team Telekom Crédit Agricole Festina -- Lotus Banesto Cantina Tollo -- Alexia Alluminio Française des Jeux Invited teams U.S. Postal Service BigMat -- Auber 93 Lampre -- Daikin Route and stages ( edit ) Stage characteristics and winners Stage Date Course Distance <Th_colspan="2"> Type Winner 3 July Le Puy du Fou 6.8 km ( 4.2 mi ) Individual time trial Lance Armstrong ( USA ) 4 July Montaigu to Challans 208.0 km ( 129.2 mi ) Plain stage Jaan Kirsipuu ( EST ) 5 July Challans to Saint - Nazaire 176.0 km ( 109.4 mi ) Plain stage Tom Steels ( BEL ) 6 July Nantes to Laval 194.5 km ( 120.9 mi ) Plain stage Tom Steels ( BEL ) 7 July Laval to Blois 194.5 km ( 120.9 mi ) Plain stage Mario Cipollini ( ITA ) 5 8 July Bonneval to Amiens 233.5 km ( 145.1 mi ) Plain stage Mario Cipollini ( ITA ) 6 9 July Amiens to Maubeuge 171.5 km ( 106.6 mi ) Plain stage Mario Cipollini ( ITA ) 7 10 July Avesnes - sur - Helpe to Thionville 227.0 km ( 141.1 mi ) Plain stage Mario Cipollini ( ITA ) 8 11 July Metz 56.5 km ( 35.1 mi ) Individual time trial Lance Armstrong ( USA ) 12 July <Td_colspan="2"> Le Grand - Bornand <Td_colspan="2"> Rest day 9 13 July Le Grand - Bornand to Sestrières 213.5 km ( 132.7 mi ) Stage with mountain ( s ) Lance Armstrong ( USA ) 10 14 July Sestrières to Alpe d'Huez 220.5 km ( 137.0 mi ) Stage with mountain ( s ) Giuseppe Guerini ( ITA ) 11 15 July Le Bourg - d'Oisans to Saint - Étienne 198.5 km ( 123.3 mi ) Hilly stage Ludo Dierckxsens ( BEL ) 12 16 July Saint - Galmier to Saint - Flour 201.5 km ( 125.2 mi ) Hilly stage David Etxebarria ( ESP ) 13 17 July Saint - Flour to Albi 236.5 km ( 147.0 mi ) Hilly stage Salvatore Commesso ( ITA ) 14 18 July Castres to Saint - Gaudens 199.0 km ( 123.7 mi ) Plain stage Dmitri Konychev ( RUS ) 19 July <Td_colspan="2"> Saint - Gaudens <Td_colspan="2"> Rest day 15 20 July Saint - Gaudens to Piau - Engaly 173.0 km ( 107.5 mi ) Stage with mountain ( s ) Fernando Escartín ( ESP ) 16 21 July Lannemezan to Pau 192.0 km ( 119.3 mi ) Stage with mountain ( s ) David Etxebarria ( ESP ) 17 22 July Mourenx to Bordeaux 200.0 km ( 124.3 mi ) Plain stage Tom Steels ( BEL ) 18 23 July Jonzac to Futuroscope 187.5 km ( 116.5 mi ) Plain stage Giampaolo Mondini ( ITA ) 19 24 July Futuroscope 57.0 km ( 35.4 mi ) Individual time trial Lance Armstrong ( USA ) 20 25 July Arpajon to Paris ( Champs - Élysées ) 143.5 km ( 89.2 mi ) Plain stage Robbie McEwen ( AUS ) <Td_colspan="2"> Total <Td_colspan="4"> 3,870 km ( 2,405 mi ) Race overview ( edit ) Main articles : 1999 Tour de France , Prologue to Stage 10 and 1999 Tour de France , Stage 11 to Stage 21 This section is empty . You can help by adding to it . ( October 2016 ) Doping ( edit ) Main article : Doping at the 1999 Tour de France See also : Lance Armstrong doping case This tour also saw the mistreatment of Christophe Bassons by his fellow riders of the peloton ( notably Armstrong ) for speaking out against doping . The 1998 tour had been marred by the Festina doping scandal . Bassons later told Bicycling , `` The 1999 Tour was supposed to be the `` Tour of Renewal , '' but I was certain that doping had not disappeared . '' He quit the tour without finishing after `` cracking '' mentally due to his treatment by the peloton , especially in stage 10 . 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 . 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 . 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 . Other incidents ( edit ) The 1999 edition of Tour de France had two bizarre moments . The first was on stage 2 when a 25 rider pile - up occurred at Passage du Gois . Passage du Gois is a two - mile causeway which depending on the tide can be under water . The second bizarre incident was on stage 10 , one kilometre from the summit of Alpe d'Huez . Leading Italian rider Giuseppe Guerini was confronted by a spectator holding a camera in the middle of the road . Guerini hit the spectator but recovered and went on to win the stage . Classification leadership ( edit ) There were several classifications in the 1999 Tour de France . The most important was the 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 . Additionally , there was a 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 led the classification , and was identified with a green jersey . There was also a mountains classification . The organisation had categorized 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 - categorized climbs . The cyclist with the most points lead the classification , and was identified with a polkadot jersey . The fourth individual classification was the young rider classification , which was not marked by a jersey . This was decided the same way as the general classification , but only riders under 26 years were eligible . For the 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 . The riders in the team that led this classification wore yellow caps . For the combativity award classification , a jury gave points after each stage to the cyclists they considered most combative . The cyclist with the most votes in all stages lead the classification .
