Quick 1966 Tour Facts:

4,303 km raced at an average speed of 36.76 km/hr.

130 starters with 82 classified finishers.

This was the first Tour with dope tests and the riders' resistance to the change provoked a temporary racer's strike.

By fixing his attention on Jacques Anquetil while break of good riders went off the front in stage ten, Poulidor lost any hope of winning.

Anquetil helped teammate Lucien Aimar win by helping him execute an escape in stage 17.
