Each week I'm posting a photo of a Tour de France winner, in year order.
Here's an undated picture of Lucien Petit-Breton, winner of the 1908 Tour, the race's sixth edition.
The 1908 Tour was 4,488 km long & raced at an average speed of 28.74 km/hr.
There were 114 starters and 36 classified finishers.
Lucien Petit-Breton was by far the best rider on the all-powerful Peugeot team.
Petit-Breton won five stages and in only one stage did he fail to finish in the top four.
Because riders had to perform their own repairs, Petit-Breton's excellent mechanical expertise served him well.
The 1908 Tour's General Classification was calculated using points.
We have complete results for every stage of every edition of the Tour de France. You can find them here.

This telling of the 2019 Tour de France is a supplement to our two-volume The Story of the Tour de France: How a Newspaper Promotion Became the Greatest Sporting Event in the World. Volume one told the story of the Tour's origins and each edition of the race from 1903 through 1975.
Volume two picked up the race in 1976 with super-climber Lucien van Impe's victory and took it through 2018.
The 2019 edition was filled with surprises with young riders taking control of the race. Every day had something happen that confounded the experts. The winner did not emerge until Mother Nature surprised everyone in late July with snow and ice. With just three stages to go, mud, hail, and ice on an Alpine road changed everything.
Join us for one of the most interesting and unpredictable editions of the Tour.
You can get The Story of the Tour de France, 2019: A Year of New Faces 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.
