Well yes, looking it up they did the time trial as the final stage which is rare these days. Usually as you noted the GC race is over by the second to the last stage and it's a sprinters finish. The riders drink champagne and generally screw around.
LeMond and Fignon weren't on the same team though that year. He rode under Fignon before the hunting accident.
