The fact that Delgado won the Tour de France in both 1988 and 1989 is what brought him the most fame.

He also won the Tour of Spain in 1985.

Because Delgado was so skilled at climbing and in time trials, he was able to achieve great success in stage races. He was also well-known for his aggressive riding style, which contributed to his popularity among fans of motorcycle racing. During the latter half of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, his competition with another rider from Spain, Miguel Indurain, was one of the most fascinating and talked-about in the sport of cycling.

Throughout his life, Delgado was not only known for his brilliant career as a cyclist, but also for his involvement in several controversial situations. In 1988, a positive test revealed that he was using the illegal chemical probenecid; nevertheless, he was exonerated of any culpability years later. After being found driving a car that had been reported stolen in 1994, he became embroiled in a scandal because of the incident.
