Each week I'm posting a photo of a Tour de France winner, in year order.
Here's an undated picture of Gustave Garrigou winner of the 1911 Tour, the race's ninth edition.
The 1911 Tour was 5,344 km long and raced at an average speed of 27.32 km/hr.
There were 84 starters, racing either as "groupes" (sponsored riders on team) of "isoles" (independent riders). Thre were 28 classified finishers.
The General classification was calculated using points.
This was the Tour's first trip into the high Alps with the first crossings of the Galibier, Télégraphe and Allos
Maurice Brocco was ejected by Tour boss Henri Desgrange because Desgrange believed Brocco was riding in the service of other riders for pay, then forbidden by the rules.
Desgrange used the term domestique for Brocco, a term we still use for riders who sacrifice themselves for others on their team.
We have complete results for every stage of every edition of the Tour de France. You can find them here.
This telling of the 2022 Tour de France is an addition to our two-volume The Story of the Tour de France: How a Newspaper Promotion Became the Greatest Sporting Event in the World, and three supplements, 2019: A Year of New Faces, 2020: The Tour During Covid-19: Better Late Than Never, & 2021: The Little Cannibal Dominates (available on Kindle and ACX audiobooks).
After 2022 Tour stage eight, Tadej Pogačar was in Yellow with a 1 minute, 48 second lead over Dutchman Wout van Aert.
Pogačar’s way was made easier by his major rival Primož Roglič’s crash in stage three that cost Roglič a minute. Roglič was able to get back up and complete the stage, but he never truly recovered. He finished the difficult eighth stage outside the time limit, marking an end to his 2021 Tour de France.
Pogačar cemented his lead by winning the two mountaintop finishes, stages seventeen and eighteen. He finished the 2021 Tour with a 5 minute, 21 second lead over Team Jumbo-Visma’s Jonas Vingegaard. And again, he won both the mountains and young rider classifications as he had in 2020. It was a stunning performance.
So please join us as we go on the 109th trip around La Belle France.

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.
