Indurain won the prologue and the ITT at the end of the first week (and his brother was last) but didn’t win the final TT, which Tony Rominger won.
I think Cipollini won a sprint, but so did Abdoujaparov and Nelissen. Bruyneel won a flat stage across northern France that was, at the time, the fastest ever road stage in the Tour. Bjaarne Riis then won a stage ahead of Max Sciandri, which was hysterical, mainly for the latter’s post stage interview on British TV.
In the Alps, Rominger won two stages, ahead of Indurain, Hampsten, Alvaro Mejia and Zenon Jaskula, who must’ve got his EPO programme spot on. Fabio Roscioli won a stage to Marseille after a long break. Zaskula won a stage in the Pyrenees, as did Chiappucci. I think Abdoujaparov won three stages in the end, including the Paris stage.
