Indurain won the mountain stage at Luz Ardiden in 1990. OK, so he didn't win the tour that year.
Indurain's margins of victory were generally larger than the time he gained in the TT's. Where did he make up the extra time? In the mountains. The "competition" may have won the stage one day, but then lost significant time the next day or the day after. Indurain was consistently strong in the mountains. I would definitely consider him an all rounder.
