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)|grandGrand toursTours]], was held from 17 April 17 to 6 May 6, 1984. It consisted of 19 stages covering a total of 3,593 km, and was won by [[Éric Caritoux]] of the [[Skil-Sem (cycling team)|Skil-SemSkil–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 EspanaEspaña 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’sleader's jersey from [[Pedro Delgado]]. [[Alberto Fernández (cyclist)|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=Spanishes|date=17 April 1984|page=20|newspaper=El Mundo Deportivo|publisher=El Mundo Deportivo S.A.|accessdateaccess-date=27 May 2012|format=PDF|trans_titletrans-title=A "Return" to the Spanish|archiveurlarchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150419142542/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1984/04/17/MD19840417-020.pdf|archivedatearchive-date=19 April 2015|deadurlurl-status=nolive}}</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=Spanishes|date=17 April 1984|page=21|newspaper=El Mundo Deportivo|publisher=El Mundo Deportivo S.A.|accessdateaccess-date=27 May 2012|format=PDF|trans_titletrans-title=A "Return" to the Spanish|archiveurlarchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150419142752/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1984/04/17/MD19840417-021.pdf|archivedatearchive-date=19 April 2015|deadurlurl-status=nolive}}</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=Spanishes|date=17 April 1984|page=22|newspaper=El Mundo Deportivo|publisher=El Mundo Deportivo S.A.|accessdateaccess-date=27 May 2012|format=PDF|trans_titletrans-title=A "Return" to the Spanish|archiveurlarchive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150419151247/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1984/04/17/MD19840417-022.pdf|archivedatearchive-date=19 April 2015|deadurlurl-status=nolive}}</ref>
