Lance Armstrong was the winner in 1996...\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 24 in x 18 in (64 cm x 46 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tour DuPont was a cycling stage race in the United States held annually between 1989 and 1996, initially called the Tour de Trump in the first two years. It was intended to become a North American cycling event similar in format and prestige to the Tour de France. The tour's names came from its sponsors, first the businessman (and later U.S. President) Donald Trump and then later DuPont.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe race was held in the mid-Atlantic states, including areas near DuPont's Wilmington, Delaware, headquarters. DuPont withdrew their sponsorship of the race after the 1996 edition, and the event has not been run since. During the eight-year history of the race as both the Tour de Trump and the Tour DuPont, it was won twice by Mexican rider Raúl Alcalá and twice by American Lance Armstrong. The race was cited as evidence of Richmond, Virginia's ability to host international cycle racing when the city successfully bid for the 2015 UCI Road World Championships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ section for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206256435587,"sku":"L1DL0","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.3684253920_2rgx.jpg?v=1768969102","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1996-tour-dupont-cycling-poster-georgia-46752","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
