Each week I'm posting a photo of a Tour de France winner, in year order.
Here's an undated picture of Henri Pélissier, winner of the 1923 Tour.
The 2023 Tour de France was 5,386 km long and raced at an average speed of 24.233 km/hr.
The 139 starters were grouped thus: 21 riders as 1st category, 26 were 2nd category and 92 independent touristes-routiers.
There were 48 classified finishers.
Ottavio Bottecchia was the first Italian to wear the Yellow Jersey. Henri Pélissier took the lead in the Alps and held it to Paris.
Time bonuses: 2 minutes to the stage winner.
Riders were allowed to fix their bikes with spare parts rather than repairing the broken item.
We have results for every stage of every edition of the Tour de France. You can find them here.

What’s the big idea? To Socrates, living according to his values was more important than life itself.
Plato’s Apology is in three parts: Socrates’ personal defense in his trial for impiety and corrupting the young, his plea before being sentenced, and his address to the jurors after he was condemned to death.
This book includes an introduction, telling who Socrates was and how he came to be on trial for his life before his fellow Athenians.
You can get Playto's Apology in Kindle eBook & audiobook versions here on Amazon.
What you'll find in our site:
The Tour de France. Lots of information, including results for every single stage of every Tour.
Other important bike races: the Giro d'Italia, the Vuelta a España, along with the classics, stage races, national championships, world records, and Olympics.
We keep a running record of the races going on in the current year, with results, photos, maps, etc. We've been doing this since 2001, so the results for this year as well as previous years are available here.
This site is owned and run by McGann Publishing. We're a micro-publisher specializing in books about cycling history. Interested? Here's information on our titles in print.
We are devoted to cycling and all of its characters and events. The sport's past matters to us. We've been interviewing anyone who will sit down and talk to us, then writing up the interviews, and collecting other stories about cycling. We have rider histories—the stories of individual riders, many by the great cycling writer Owen Mulholland. We have our oral history project—the results of our interviews. And we've collected lots of photos over the years, of racers, racing, manufacturing, etc., which we have arranged into photo galleries for your enjoyment.
Being in the bike business for many years, we had to opportunity to travel a lot in Europe, riding bikes, attending trade shows, etc. We've written up many of our travels, and had some contributions from others whose travels differed from ours.
What would the day be without the funnies? Our friend Francesca Paoletti has drawn a series of comics about bike related stuff, poking fun at us along the way.
If you are interested in bikes, sooner or later you will want to know some technical information about bikes. We have articles here about bike weight, how bike frames are prepped and assembled, selected bike parts, and others.
And then there's food! The bicycle runs on the human engine, and the human engine runs on food, so of course we're interested in that.
Along the way we've been privileged to meet many people in and around the bike business who do things we like. The folks whose ads are up there on the right are friends of ours who we believe conduct their business knowledgably and honorably; here are a few others who do stuff we like.
