1982 King of the Mountains

[edit]

According to Phil Liggett (during the 2022 Tour de France commentary for stage 10), Bernard Vallet won the KOM somewhat controversially in that he won a bunch of smaller climbs in Luxembourg and did not win the higher climbs. Since he was not deemed a climber, the ride organizers began awarding much larger amounts of points for the higher classification climbs. I'm not sure how to cite that however.
