1931 Tour Quick Facts:

5,095 km raced at an average speed of 28.735 km/hr

81 starters, aligned either on national teams (41 riders with Francisco Cepeda as the only rider representing Spain) or as independent touristes-routiers (40 riders).

There were 35 classified finishers.

Once Antonin Magne took the lead after a masterful ride in stage nine.

He seemed to easily resist the best efforts of the Italians and Belgians and thereby won his first Tour.

Time Bonuses: 3 minutes to the stage winner if he won by more than 3 minutes.
