Each week I'm posting a photo of a Tour de France winner, in year order.
Here's a picture Philippe Thys after winning the 1913 Tour.
The 1913 Tour was 5,388 km long & raced at an average speed of 27.625 km/hr.
The 140 starters who were divided into two classes, "Groupes" or members of sponsored teams and "isoles" or independent riders. There were 25 classified finishers.
Between 1905 and 1912, as a result of the 1904 cheating scandal, the Tour had been a points race. In 1913 and from then on, the Tour used elapsed time to calculate the standings.
One of the Tour's most famous stories: Eugène Christophe broke his forks on the Tourmalet and hiked down the mountain to perform the repair himself in a blacksmith shop in stage six.
Marcel Buysse won six stages but a set of broken handlebars cost him too much time.
Philippe Thys won the first of his three Tours de France.
We have results for every stage of every edition of the Tour de France. You can find them here.
As expected, the 2023 Tour started out as a duel between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar. By the end of the mountainous sixth stage Vingegaard was in yellow with Pogačar just 25 seconds back.
After crashing early in the seventeenth stage, Pogačar lost his legendary climbing power. While riding the stage's final climb Pogačar said into the team race radio, “I’m gone, I’m dead.” He finished nearly six minutes behind Vingegaard.
And that’s how the 2023 Tour ended. Vingegaard had won his second consecutive Tour as Pogačar had done in 2020 and 2021. The 2024 Tour would probably break the tie.
So please join us for the 2024 Tour as we go on the 111th trip around La Belle France.
You can get The Story of the Tour de France, 2024: The Happy Warrior Triumphs 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.
