The most important race in the world was run that year from June 28 to July 21 with a total of 21 stages. A Tour de France that will remain forever in the memory of Colombian cycling. The mythical team "Café de Colombia" would remain forever in the hearts of all cycling fans.
That great performance of the colombian cyclists also had great prestige thanks to the rivals of the time, such as the Frenchman Bernard Hinol, who in the end was the winner, and others like the Irish Sean Kelly, who, despite being protagonists, had no choice but to admire two Colombians who with a sustained pace could also stand out in the mountains.
It was July 10, 1985. Colombia was going yo waking up with a patriotic uproared sentiment. And it wasn´t for less. One of his sons, Luis Alberto Herrera, the Little gardener, had achieved the second partial victory of Colombian cycling in the Tour de France, the most important stage race in the world. The first was achieved by himself, a year earlier in the mythical Alpe d'Huez.
That day, without knowing it, the emerging fearsome duo of the mountain, formed by Parra and Herrera, had the great opportunity to shine in French lands.
