Each week I'm posting a photo of a Tour de France winner, in year order.
Here's an undated picture of Odile Defraye, winner of the 1912 Tour, the race's tenth edition.
The 1912 Tour de France was 5,319 km long & raced at an average speed of 27.89 km/hr.
There were 131 starters divided into two classifications, groupes (riders on sponsored teams) and isoles (independent riders). There were 41 classified finishers.
This was the last Tour to use points to calculate the standings.
Odile Defraye was the first Belgian to win the Tour.
Tour boss Henri Desgrange was upset because other Belgian riders, despite their being members of competing teams, helped Defraye.
We have complete results for every stage of every edition of the Tour de France. You can find them here.

TThe 2022 Tour looked to be a shootout between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Tour de France, but Pogačar ran out of gas before he ran out of Tour.
In stage eleven, a monster climbing stage, Vingegaard attacked on the final ascent, the Col du Granon, and finished alone, a minute ahead of his nearest chaser Nairo Quintana, and almost three minutes ahead of Pogačar. The Dane now led Pogačar by 2 minutes, 16 seconds
In stage 18, Vingegaard cemented his GC lead by finishing a minute ahead of Pogačar.
Vingegaard had ridden a near-perfect Tour guarded by a powerful and capable Jumbo-Visma team.
Except for the two world wars, the Tour has been run annually since that 1903 race, and yearly addendums seem the best way to keep telling the story.
So please join us for 2023 as we go on the 110th trip around La Belle France. Let’s see how Vingegaard, Pogačar, and the other brilliant racers fight for cycle racing’s greatest prize.

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.
