Photos from the 1904 Tour de France

		Sign-in at the end of a stage

The end of stage 4 in Bordeaux. Note that this is an Italian sports magazine showing that the Tour was of international interest from the beginning.

The initial 1904 Tour podium. From the left, Lucien Pothier (2nd), Maurice Garin (1st) and his brother César Garin (3rd). They would all be later disqualified. Note that they have toe clips, but no straps.

And here is young Henri Cornet (shown in 1905), the youngest-ever winner of the Tour de France.
