Each week I'm starting to post a photo of a Tour de France winner, in year order.
Here's a picture of Louis Trousselier, winner of the 1905 Tour, the race's third edition.
Tour boss Henri Desgrange recast the Tour to fight the problems of rider cheating and spectator interference. The stages mostly ended outside the finish towns.
There were more stages (11) and the stages were shorter so that the riders would not have to start in the night. Instead of calculating the General Classification on elapsed time, the Tour was scored on points in order to make judging simpler.
After demonstrating his climbing superiority, René 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. Trousselier's consistency is made clear by his five stage wins.
We have complete results for every stage of every edition of the Tour de France. You can find them here.
Citius, Altius, Fortius (Faster, Higher, Stronger) is the motto of the International Olympic Committee. After reading Les Woodland’s The Olympics’ 50 Craziest Stories the reader might wonder if the motto should be Sillier, Loonier, Crazier.
There is the gentle rower who was winning his race when he stopped his scull to avoid scattering a mother duck and her ducklings—we’ll let your read the book to find out how he did—and the American socialites who showed up for a golf game in Paris and accidentally ended up in the Olympic golf contest. There was so much confusion that year they never learned one of them had become Olympic champion. Oh, and the men’s Olympic golf champion had actually journeyed to Paris to play tennis.
Shooting live pigeons was an event in the 1900 Olympics, but there’s no mention today of the competition out of embarrassment over the 300 dead and maimed birds on the ground that revulsed the spectators. We can’t forget the Jamaican bobsled team nor the Russian KGB colonel who rigged the scoring in fencing and managed to create an international incident. T
hey are all in The Olympics’ 50 Craziest Stories, along with dozens more athletes who managed to attain fame they would rather not have earned.

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.
