Individual final calssification, stage details.
The 1905 Tour was marred by some of the same protests and sabotage that bedeviled the 1904 Tour. After demonstrating his climbing superiority, Rene Pottier dropped out of the third stage with tendinitis. He would go on to win the 1906 Tour. Aucouturier, winner of the 1903 and 1904 Paris-Roubaix took the lead and later relinquished it to Trousselier, who had won Paris-Roubaix that Spring. His consistency is made clear in his 5 stage wins.
