Bugno's performance in the Grand Tours was over-shadowed by the dominance of Induráin. While he won the Giro d'Italia in 1990, he finished second to Induráin in the Tour de France in 1991 and third behind Indurain and Claudio Chiappucci in 1992. In an epic battle in the 1992 Tour, Induráin kept his calm despite Chiappucci's attack in the Alps; the distraught Bugno had to put in an effort to chase and eventually cracked in the final parts of the stage.
