1962 Tour Quick Facts:

4274 km raced at an average speed of 37.31 km/hr. 149 starters and 94 classified finishers.

This was the first Tour run with trade teams since Tour father Henri Desgrange began running the Tour with National teams in 1930.

This was also Raymond Poulidor's first of 14 Tour participations.

Although he would be second three times ('64, '65, '74) and third three times ('62, '69, '76), he would never spend a single day in yellow.

Following stage 12, Tom Simpson became the first British rider to lead the Tour.

Anquetil rode a masterful Tour, staying within striking distance, then at nearly the last moment, riding a superb time trial in stage 20 that won him the Tour.

This was Anquetil's third Tour victory, tying him with Bobet and Thys.
