Each week I'm posting a photo of a Tour de France winner, in year order.
Here's a picture of Octave Lapize, winner of the 1910 Tour, the race's eighth edition. This picture was taken just after he had won that Tour.
The 1910 Tour was 4,737 km long and raced at an average speed of 28.680 km/hr.
There were 110 starters with30 riders on the three professional teams: Alcyon, Legnano and Le Globe.
The balance were isoles or independent riders. There were 41 classified finishers.
Points were used to calculate the General Classification.
This was the Tour's first time in the high mountains with two stages in the Pyrenees.
François Faber led for much of the Tour, but a dog-caused crash in stage seven left him too injured to resist teammate Octave Lapize.
We have complete results for every stage of every edition of the Tour de France. You can find them here.
This telling of the 2021 Tour de France is an addition to our two-volume The Story of the Tour de France: How a Newspaper Promotion Became the Greatest Sporting Event in the World, and two supplements, 2019: A Year of New Facesand 2020: The Tour During Covid-19: Better Late Than Never (both available on Kindle and ACX audiobooks).
Few things seemed to go as planned in the 2021 Tour de France. First, the start date was changed so that the race would not conflict with the Olympic Games.
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the planned start in Denmark was transferred to Brest, in France. While 2020 winner Tadej Pogačar seemed to be riding in a state of grace, the man thought to be his main competitor, Primož Roglič was forced to abandon after stage 8.
But, there were other fine riders ready to give Pogačar a challenge.
Except for the two world wars, the Tour has been run annually since the first edition of the race in 1903, and yearly addendums seem the best way to keep telling the story. So please join us as we go on the 108th trip around La Belle France.
You can get The Story of the Tour de France, 2021: The Little Cannibal Dominates 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.
