The 39th Edition ''[[Vuelta a España]]'' (Tour of Spain), a long-distance [[Bicycle racing|bicycle]] [[Stage (bicycle race)|stage]] race and one of the 3 [[Grand Tour (cycling)|Grand Tours]], was held from 17 April to 6 May 1984. It consisted of 19 stages covering a total of 3,593&nbsp;km, and was won by [[Éric Caritoux]] of the [[Skil (cycling team)|Skil–Sem]] [[cycling team]]. It was one of the most surprising grand tour victories in cycling history as Caritoux, a virtual unknown who was part of a lineup that was thrown together at the last minute, won by the closest margin in history.

Caritoux, a second year professional, had shown his climbing talent earlier that year by winning the stage up the Mont-Ventoux of the 1984 [[Paris–Nice]] but he did not enter the 1984 Vuelta a España thinking of the overall classification.

On stage 8 [[Roger De Vlaeminck]], one of the oldest riders professionally, won the first Vuelta stage of his career which gave him a stage win in all three grand tours. Fourteen years earlier he won his first grand tour stage during the [[1970 Tour de France]] and had won 22 [[Giro d'Italia|Giro]] stages in between.<ref>{{cite web|title=Roger De Vlaemick

Caritoux took the leader's jersey from [[Pedro Delgado]]. Alberto Fernández was 32 seconds behind Caritoux in the general classification at that stage. Fernández had been third the year previously in the [[1983 Vuelta a España|Vuelta a España]] and in the [[1983 Giro d'Italia|Giro d'Italia]]. On the stage 14 mountain time trial, Caritoux lost five seconds. Caritoux lost further time in the final individual time trial but still managed to finish the race with a slender lead of six seconds over Fernández, the smallest margin in the history of the Vuelta a España, and also the smallest ever seen in a Grand Tour. Fernández died later on in 1984.<ref name="ELM DB4-1">{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1984/04/17/MD19840417-020.pdf|title=Una "Vuelta" a la Española|language=es|date=17 April 1984|page=20|newspaper=El Mundo Deportivo|access-date=27 May 2012|format=PDF|trans-title=A "Return" to the Spanish|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150419142542/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1984/04/17/MD19840417-020.pdf|archive-date=19 April 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="ELM DB4-2">{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1984/04/17/MD19840417-021.pdf|title=Una "Vuelta" a la Española|language=es|date=17 April 1984|page=21|newspaper=El Mundo Deportivo|access-date=27 May 2012|format=PDF|trans-title=A "Return" to the Spanish|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150419142752/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1984/04/17/MD19840417-021.pdf|archive-date=19 April 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="ELM DB4-3">{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1984/04/17/MD19840417-022.pdf|title=Una "Vuelta" a la Española|language=es|date=17 April 1984|page=22|newspaper=El Mundo Deportivo|access-date=27 May 2012|format=PDF|trans-title=A "Return" to the Spanish|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150419151247/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1984/04/17/MD19840417-022.pdf|archive-date=19 April 2015|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Classification leadership==

Three different jerseys were worn during the 1984 Vuelta a España. The leader of the [[General classification in the Vuelta a España|general classification]] – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider, and allowing time bonuses for the first three finishers on mass-start stages – wore a golden jersey. This classification is the most important of the race, and its winner is considered as the winner of the Vuelta.

For the [[Points classification in the Giro d'Italia|points classification]], which awarded a light blue jersey to its leader, cyclists were given points for finishing a stage in the top 15; additional points could also be won in intermediate sprints. The green jersey was awarded to the [[Mountains classification in the Giro d'Italia|mountains classification]] leader. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. Each climb was ranked as either first, second or third category, with more points available for higher category climbs. The leader of the mountains classification wore a green jersey.

Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the stage finish times of the best three cyclists per team were added; the leading team was the one with the lowest total time.

The rows in the following table correspond to the jerseys awarded after that stage was run.
