Tour de France Statistics

Here is a listing of the dates of each Tour with the starting (until 1952, it was always Paris) and finishing city (always Paris), the total length of each Tour, number of stages, the number of entrants and finshers as well as the winner's average speed over the entire Tour.

The distances and average speeds for pre-World War I Tour are very inexact. Back then stage lengths were often estimated.
