The Complete Guide to Every Tour de France Winner Through History

A rider-by-rider list of champions, from Maurice Garin in 1903 to Jonas Vingegaard in 2022.

We’ve got you covered with this complete list of every rider who has ever won an overall Tour de France title.

To learn more about the stories behind these athletes and their victories, Bill and Carol McGann’s two-volume The Story of the Tour de France and Les Woodland’s The Unknown Tour de Franc e are two of the best English-language resources out there.

Maurice Garin

Country: France Team: La Française Year(s): 1903

A chimney sweep-turned-champion, Garin led the inaugural Tour de France from start to finish, winning by almost three hours over the second-place rider. He earned the equivalent of about $40,000 for his efforts, money he later used to buy his own gas station.

Henri Cornet

Country: France Team: Conte Year(s): 1904

Cornet was declared the winner of the 1904 Tour after the first four finishers (including Garin) were disqualified for various forms of cheating. Only 19 at the time, Cornet remains the youngest winner in Tour history.

Louis Trousselier

Country: France Team: Peugeot–Wolber Year(s): 1905

Trousselier had to go on leave from the French army to compete in the 1905 Tour, so he made sure he invested his time wisely, winning three stages on his way to the overall victory. The night before winning the final stage, “Trou-Trou” spent all night drinking and gambling, losing the money he was set to win. He returned to the army the day after being crowned champion.

René Pottier

Country: France Team: Peugeot–Wolber Year(s): 1906

One year after becoming the first man to abandon the Tour while leading it, Pottier got his revenge by winning five stages and the overall title. Sadly, he hanged himself in his team clubhouse the following January after learning that his wife had had an affair while he competed in the race.

Lucien Petit-Breton

Country: France Team: Peugeot–Wolber Year(s): 1907, 1908

The Tour’s first two-time winner, Petit-Breton’s name is actually Lucien Mazan. Trying to keep his occupation a secret from his father—who didn’t want him to become a cyclist—Mazan raced under a pseudonym. In earning the second of his two Tour victories, he won five stages and never finished outside the top four. He was killed while serving as a driver for the French army in World War I.

François Faber

Country: Luxembourg Team: Alcyon–Dunlop Year(s): 1909

The first foreigner to win the Tour de France, Faber was incredibly large by contemporary standards. Nicknamed the “Giant of Colombe” after the Parisian suburb in which he lived, Faber measured six feet tall and weighed more than 200 pounds. He was shot in the back and killed while trying to carry a wounded comrade across no-man’s-land during a battle in WWI.

Octave Lapize

Country: France Team: Alcyon–Dunlop Year(s): 1910

To win his only Tour de France, Lapize had to overcome both his teammate Faber, the defending champion, and the Tour’s first visit to the Pyrenees. Luckily, Lapize was a much better climber than Faber, so the high mountains played to his strengths. He is perhaps most famous for shouting, “You are assassins!” at Tour organizers while climbing the Tourmalet. While serving as a fighter pilot in WWI, he was shot down and killed over Verdun.

Gustave Garrigou

Country: France Team: Alcyon–Dunlop Year(s): 1911

Despite complaints from racers, Tour organizers considered the Pyreneean stages such a success that they added the Alps in 1911. Faber again lost to a teammate, the climber Garrigou, who needed a bodyguard and disguise to finish the race after accusations that he poisoned a fellow competitor. He was later found innocent.

Odile Defraye

Country: Belgium Team: Alcyon–Dunlop Year(s): 1912

The first Belgian to win the Tour de France, Defraye rode the Tour six times and only finished once (in the same year that he won).

Philippe Thys

Country: Belgium Teams: Peugeot–Wolber, La Sportive Year(s): 1913, 1914, 1920

The Tour’s first three-time winner, Thys was the last rider to win before the start of WWI, and one of only a few prior champions to survive the conflict and continue his career.

Firmin Lambot

Country: Belgium Teams: La Sportive, Peugeot-Wolber Year(s): 1919, 1922

When the Tour started again after the war, Lambot continued Belgium’s run of success, taking the lead just two stages from the finish after Eugène Christophe—for the second time in his career—had his Tour ruined by a broken fork. Lambot won his second title at age 36, making him the oldest winner to date.

Léon Scieur

Country: Belgium Team: La Sportive Year(s): 1921

Discovered by Lambot, who hailed from the same town in Belgium, Scieur was nicknamed “the Locomotive” in the press for the way he relentlessly consolidated his lead. His wheel broke on the penultimate day and he carried it more than 300K on his back to show officials that he was justified in taking a replacement (rules at the time limited outside support for riders).

Henri Pélissier

Country: France Team: Automoto–Hutchinson Year(s): 1923

The oldest of three brothers, all of whom were cyclists, Pélissier finished only two of the eight Tours he started, placing second in 1914 and finally winning in 1923. Talented but ill-tempered, he dropped out mostly by choice. His most famous DNF came in 1920, when rather than accept a two-minute penalty for throwing away a flat tire, he abandoned the race in protest.

Ottavio Bottecchia

Country: Italy Team: Automoto Year(s): 1924, 1925

In 1924, Bottecchia became Italy’s first Tour de France champion and the first rider to wear the yellow jersey from start to finish. His initial win was made easier thanks to the departure of the Pélissier brothers on Stage 3. Discovered to be wearing two jerseys at a time, then a violation of the rules, Henri, his brother, and another teammate abandoned—you guessed it—in protest.

Lucien Buysse

Country: Belgium Team: Automoto–Hutchinson Year(s): 1926

Buysse rode selflessly for Bottecchia in 1925 and was rewarded with a chance to win the Tour for himself in 1926. Tragically, the Belgian received news that his daughter had died early in the race, but his family convinced him to carry on to victory.

Nicolas Frantz

Country: Luxembourg Team: Alcyon–Dunlop Year(s): 1927, 1928

Fourth in 1925 and second in 1926, Frantz set the foundation for his first Tour victory by winning Stage 11, a mountainous day that tackled the Pyrenean “Circle of Death,” a route with four challenging climbs including the Col d’Aubisque and Col du Tourmalet. He led the 1928 Tour from start to finish, becoming only the fifth rider (at the time) to win the overall twice.

Maurice De Waele

Country: Belgium Team: Alcyon–Dunlop Year(s): 1929

Second in 1927 and third in 1928, De Waele overcame several flat tires—riders were then required to change their own flats—and illness to win in 1929. He wasn’t a popular champion, which caused organizer Henri Desgrange to remark, “A corpse has won my race!”

André Leducq

Country: France Teams: Alcyon–Dunlop, France Year(s): 1930, 1932

The year 1930 brought a change to the Tour: National and regional teams, instead of sponsored trade teams, would now compete. This shifted the power back to France, with Leducq winning two of the decade’s first five Tours (all of which went to the French).

Antonin Magne

Country: France Team: France Year(s): 1931, 1934

Third behind Leducq in 1930, Magne took advantage of new three-minute time bonuses given to stage winners—as well as a mysterious letter tipping him off to the tactics of a competitor—to win in 1931, his first of two victories.

Georges Speicher

Country: France Team: France Year(s): 1933

Historians consider the French team at the 1933 Tour to be one of the strongest collections of pre-war riders ever assembled. Speicher was joined on the start line by former winners Leducq and Magne, as well as future winner Roger Lapébie.

These days, he lives with his wife and son in Pennsylvania, spending his days serving as an assistant middle school principal and his nights playing Dungeons & Dragons.

The 2022 Tour de France has started and every cycling fan is thrilled to know which team and rider is going to be the winner this year. It is necessary for the contestants to be fully concentrated in the path they will travel in order to not lose a step in their way to a glory that only some have acquired through the years.

It is known that Europe has completely dominated the Tour the France each year. In the end of the 20th century and early 2000s , the United States had a huge representative in this competition: Lance Armstrong . The 1993 World champion won seven consecutive editions ( 1999 - 2005), but then the UCI (Union Cycliste Internationale) took the titles away due to the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

In 108 editions of this huge tournament, there has been, oficially, threenon-european winners: Greg LeMond (United States), Cadel Evans (Australia) and Egan Bernal (Colombia). It is an exhausting competition and not everyone can even finish, so it is important to train very hard everyday in order to aspire to get the trophy back home.

Complete list of Tour de France champions

There has been 21 different champions through the 108 editions of the Tour de France , which started back in 1903. The competition has changed since then, increasing the stages and miles gradually.

The Fall of Eddy Merckx, One of the Greatest Tour de France Champions

Coming into the 1975 Tour de France, Eddy “the Cannibal” Merckx seemed invincible. He won the last five Tours he entered and was the favourite to win again and claim his 6 th title. But an unexpected turn of events changed the trajectory of one of the greatest cycling champions.

Merckx’s 1975 season was looking great, he won four classics that spring. His Belgian reign has been so strong that he was getting threatening letters from the French fans. The message was always similar:

“If you win again, bad things are going to happen to you.”

Eddy Merckx wasn’t intimidated. He considered these letters to be motivation and was fired up to claim another victory at the Tour. After stage 6, he was leading the 1975 Tour with 31 seconds ahead of the young Italian star Francesco Moser. He was off to a good start after that first time trial. But his true rival was ready to strike when they entered the Pyrenees.

Bernard Thévenet was riding his 6 th Tour in 1975 and after finishing in second place two years prior, he was determined to bring the championship back to France. A month before the Tour, he won Critérium du Dauphiné, which gave him further confidence that he had what it takes to bring down the Cannibal.

Thévenet, along with another experienced Tour competitor Joop Zoetemelk, was able to drop Merckx during the “Circle of Death”, the hardest Tour de France stage in the Pyrenees Mountains. Merckx showed first signs of vulnerability but was still leading by 1 minute and 31 seconds four days later at the start of the climb to Puy de Dôme.

Around 4 km into the 12 km Puy de Dôme climb, Thévenet was in the lead pursued by an excellent climber Lucien Van Impe. Merckx was chasing them, slowly closing the gap. He was alone making his way through hordes of fans lining the road. And then… it happened. One of the spectators punched Merckx in the side where the right kidney is.

Merckx clutched his belly in pain but kept on pedalling. He completed the stage 34 seconds after Thévenet and vomited after crossing the finish line.

The attacker was eventually found, his name was Nello Breton. He claimed it was an accident and that he was pushed and fell onto the road on the rider. Merckx later sued Breton. The court found him guilty but sentenced him only to pay a symbolic fine of 1 franc.

At the end of this dramatic 14th stage, Merckx maintained a 58-second lead. Unfortunately, the doctors found that he had a mild kidney inflammation. Merckx had to be treated with pain medication and blood thinners as well. His chances for the rest of the Tour were not looking good.

After the rest day, Merckx had to face Thévenet at stage 15 that included five brutal Alpine climbs. They fought non-stop trying to find each other’s weaknesses. The Frenchmen had an unlucky flat, which set him back and he became the pursuer chasing Merckx. At the beginning of the final climb to Pra-Loupe, Merckx was ahead by a whole minute. All was looking great for the defending champion.

With around 4 km left till the top of the climb, Merckx broke. He later described it as going from sober to fully drunk in a matter of seconds. Only this was not caused by alcohol but the long breakaway and the medical treatment to solve his kidney issues during the rest day. He was barely able to spin the pedals with a painful grimace on his face, an empty look in his eyes, and a hunched posture.

The Italian Gimondi was the first one to catch up to Merckx and Thévenet quickly followed. Encouraged by what he saw, Thévenet pushed even harder and crossed the finish line in the first place 23 seconds ahead of Gimondi and almost 2 whole minutes ahead of Merckx. In one of the most memorable Tour de France stages, Bernard Thévenet managed to finally take the yellow jersey away from the Cannibal.

This victory gave the Frenchman wings! He flew over Izoard in the next stage and increased his lead to impressive 3 minutes and 20 seconds. The French fans were starting to celebrate the fall of Eddy Merckx. Even Merckx himself commented that Thévenet secured the win that day. Was he bluffing? There was one more mountain stage in the Alps left. There was still a chance for a comeback.

Merckx attacked from the starting line but luck was not on his side that day. He suffered a bad fall. He was bleeding, had a banged-up knee and hip, and a broken cheekbone and jaw, which was only discovered later. Despite this, he got back on his bike and kept fighting. He was refusing medical attention. Somehow, he managed to finish only 2 seconds after Thévenet.

Doctors suggested Merckx should drop out due to the severity of his injuries. He was only able to take in liquid food, unable to chew with his broken jaw. Merckx decided to continue despite the warnings. He later expressed regret saying that continuing with those injuries likely cut his career short.

Merckx said his suffering was unimaginable for the rest of the Tour. He was severely under-fuelled and in constant pain. He was only able to continue because of how important Tour was to him and because of his team colleagues. His colleagues’ bonuses depended on Merckx’s general classification placement. He knew he could still finish in second place but his body paid the price. He later added that he should have quit and paid his domestiques with his own money.

The Tour de France was finishing at Champs-Élysées for the first time that year. It was quite symbolic as it marked the beginning of this tradition but also an end of the Merckx era. Bernard Thévenet claimed victory with a margin of 2 minutes and 47 seconds and the French president Valéry Giscard d’Estaing couldn’t be prouder congratulating a French champion on the podium.

“I tried everything and it wasn’t enough. The strongest one always wins and Thévenet was the strongest this time,” said Merckx showing class in defeat.

“Tell me who came in second behind you and I will tell you the value of your victory,” said Thévenet showing the respect he had for his rival.

Tour de France winning bikes: Which brand has won the most Tours in history?

A history of the most successful bike brands at the Tour de France

With 21 stages covering thousands of kilometres of flat, rolling and mountainous terrain, accompanied by the staccato efforts of the puncheurs, the enormously high power efforts of the sprinters, and the high-speed cornering that accompanies the descents, the Tour de France is one of the biggest tests a bike can face. 

While no bike could win the race alone without a deserving rider, the same can also be said the other way round; any Tour de France winning bike has earned its place on the top step of the podium. 

Over the years, the basic design of all Tour de France bikes hasn't changed all that much. There are still two wheels, two triangles, gears, a chain, and pneumatic tyres, but the technology supporting each part has advanced by lightyears. We can’t help but wonder what the race would look like if you took today’s riders, and made them race the three-week tour on the bikes ridden in the 1903 edition of the race — or the other way around. 

With WorldTour teams using the equipment provided by their sponsors, many of the brands that are racking up stage wins in the modern race are still comparatively young compared to the Tour de France itself. But even while certain brands sponsor multiple teams, some of which are dominant, these young teams may never rack up the same number of TDF general classification wins as many of the now-defunct bike brands of old. 

We’ve combed through the results of every edition of the Tour and tabulated which brands have dominated the race over the last century. Because of the unavoidable shadow cast by doping over the sport during this time, we've listed the total number of wins per brand based on any retrospective action that was taken, such that our list tallies with the Tour's own records. 

Further complicating matters is the historically common practice of frames being built by a different brand than the one displayed on their tubes. The most significant of these instances concerns the French manufacturer Alcyon. Between 1930 and 1939, every bike ridden in the Tour was labelled L'Auto, as decreed by the race organisers. It is widely assumed that these were built by Alcyon in each year except 1938, which would add 9 victories to the company's tally. But, since there was no competition, these wins could be judged to be by default. To simplify matters here, we're sticking with the brand name on the winning frame.

1. Pinarello - 16 wins

By now, we’ve all heard Dave Brailsford’s infamous quote about ‘marginal gains,’ and with the number of Tour wins his Pinarello sponsored team has racked up, it’s hard to argue with this philosophy. But Pinarello was winning the Tour de France long before Brailsford started his tenure at Sky/Ineos or British Cycling.

Pinarello earned its first TDF overall classification in 1988, piloted by Pedro Delgado riding with Team Reynolds. This race was marred with controversy, as Delgado tested positive for Probenecid, which at the time was considered a performance-enhancing drug by the IOC, but was not yet banned by the UCI. 

In the early 1990s, Pinarello road bikes were ridden to six consecutive TDF General Classification victories by Miguel Induráin, Bjarne Riis — he was removed from then reinstated to the winner's list after admitting to taking PEDs, with an asterisk to acknowledge the offence — and Jan Ulrich who finished second in the 1996 tour behind Riis, and won his only Tour in 1997. 

Some of the Pinarello-branded bikes ridden in the Tour in the late '80s and early '90s were actually manufactured by TVT, though this was a pretty common practice of the era. In the interest of names on frames, we count 16 in total for the Italians. 

2. Peugeot - 10 wins

Peugeot has been making bicycles since the early 1800s, and while today it is best known for its cars, the French brand still produces a range of road, commuter, and mountain bikes, and even sponsor an eMTB team.

Originally from Sochaux, France, the French brand earned its first Tour de France victory in 1905 with French rider Louis Trousselier and most recently in 1977 with Bernard Thévenet riding a Peugeot PY-10.

While Peugeot’s official Tour de France count is 10, they were also part of the collective of French automotive manufacturers that banded together after World War I under the moniker La Sportive to provide bikes for the race between 1919 and 1921. La Sportive has won in all three of these editions, which in part can be attributed to Peugeot.

3. L’Auto - 10 wins

In 1903, Henri Desgrange, the editor of the newspaper L’Auto, founded the Tour de France as a publicity stunt for his waning publication - spoiler alert, it worked.

As Desgrange was running the race and setting the rules, in 1930, he banned trade teams and only allowed national teams to participate, stipulating that each rider had to use a generic bicycle. For those 10 pre-war years, every rider from the yellow jersey winner to the lanterne rouge competed on a yellow road bike with L’Auto painted on the downtube. 

 4. Gitane - 9 wins

With nine Tour de France victories, French outfit Gitane made the bikes which Laurent Fignon and Bernard Hinault rode to their wins. The brand was widespread in the professional peloton from the 1960s through to the 1980s and was also well known for producing motorcycles, also supporting moto racing teams during this period as well. 

In 1972, Gitane produced the “Tour de France”, which was a lightweight (for the time) frame, made from Reynolds 531 tubing and served as the brand's race bike, until it went on hiatus from the WorldTour. 

After a few name changes and transfers of ownership, Gitane ended up as part of the same brand portfolio as Peugeot and B.H, under the umbrella of Cyclegroup — which later was purchased by a Swedish firm that now also owns Bianchi. 

Gitane purchased the Helyett company in the 1960s, and also claimed their three Tour victories, which were achieved by Jacques Anquetil in 1957, 1961 and 1962. The Helyett frames may well have been built by Gitane too, but since we're sticking to names on frames, Gitane remains on nine victories.

5. Alcyon - 7 wins

With seven wins to its name, Alcyon, like so many of the brands that provided bikes to early Tour teams, made bikes, cars, and motorcycles. The brand’s first-ever win in the Tour de France came from the Luxembourgian François Faber, who also clinched five stage victories in that edition. 

Alcyon sponsored a team through the 1920s and was becoming a force in the peloton winning the 1927, 1928 and 1929 editions, but the visibility of the Alcyon name ended there due to Desgrange’s ban on trade teams in 1930.

6. Merckx - 5 wins

If we are going by what was written on the down tube, Merckx would be the next on our list, though by all accounts, the Cannibal was riding bikes built by Masi and Kessels. Despite a storied history, and recent sponsorship of AG2R, Merckx isn't a presence at the 2022 Tour. Its recent history involves financial difficulty and a takeover by Ridley Bikes , so we don't expect this number to grow for a while.

7. Automoto - 4 wins

French outfit Automoto was founded in 1902 and like so many others of the era, was in the business of two-wheeled vehicles, both human-powered and motorised. 

The brand won four consecutive Tours de France under Henri Pélissier in 1923, Ottavio Bottecchia in 1924 and 1925, and Lucien Buysse in 1926. A few years later, in 1930, the brand was purchased by Peugeot but still produced bikes and motorcycles under the Automoto brand name until 1962, when it was discontinued.

8. La Sportive - 3 wins

While La Sportive may only have three Tour wins under its belt, and was only in existence for a handful of years, it’s one of our favourite stories in cycling history. 

World War One left Europe in bad shape, and many of the factories that produced bicycles had been reduced to rubble. The continent was in a depression, and spending money on sporting teams was hardly a priority at the time.

So to make sure the race would not be yet another casualty of the war, Alcyon, Armor, Automoto, Clément, La Française, Gladiator, Griffon, Hurtu, Labor, Liberator, Peugeot and Thomann banded together to provide equipment to half the peloton, and sponsored the race from 1919-1921. Given that half the riders were on La Sportive bikes during these years, it’s no surprise they came away with the General Classification each time, with Firmin Lambot winning in 1919, Philippe Thys winning in 1920 and Léon Scieur in 1921.

The group disbanded in 1922 when each respective company restarted their own teams. 

9. Bianchi - 3 wins

The last time a Bianchi was ridden down the Champs-Élysées at the top of the general classification was in 1998 when Marco Pantani had the yellow jersey on his shoulders. This edition was drama-filled not only because of the racing, as the 85th edition was also the year of the Festina affair that marred the race with police raids, rider strikes, and teams pulling out of the race.

Bianchi’s other Tour de France victories were with Fausto Coppi in the saddle, in 1949 and 1952.

The brand came within a hair's width of doing it again in 2020, but Primož Roglič's untimely implosion on the stage 2020 time trial up La Planche des Belles Filles handed the race to Tadej Pogačar, resulting in Colnago's first-ever maillot jaune. 

10. Trek, Colnago, Specialized, Frejus, Stella and Geminiani - 2 wins

For a brand with a history so ingrained in cycling culture, it does seem out of sorts that until 2020, Colnago had never won a Tour de France. Of course, thanks to Tadej Pogacar, it's won two in a row and is the bookies' favourite for the 2022 edition too. His hat trick would see Colnago step up the standings and sit alongside Italian rivals Bianchi.

Snapping at Colnago's heels are five other brands, each with two wins to their name: Frejus, Stella, Geminiani, Trek and Specialized. 

Trek has a tumultuous history with the Tour de France; its bikes have 'won' a total of nine Tours de France, however, with all of Lance Armstrong’s 'victories' being officially stricken from the record, the big red barn in Wisconsin can only officially claim Alberto Contador’s 2007 and 2009 wins. In 2022, none of the Trek Segafredo riders are expected to fight for GC, so don't expect Trek to get another this year.

Given Frejus, Stella and Geminiani no longer operate in the sport, Specialized is the only other brand able to climb above Colnago. However, despite sponsoring three of the teams in this year's race, Specialized's hopes would fall on Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora Hansgrohe) as the only of their riders at the race with any serious GC ambitions. 

Elsewhere, BMC has also crossed the line 1st in Paris on two occasions, but while Cadel Evans' 2011 title is irrefutable, soon after the 2006 Tour, Floyd Landis was found to have doped, was removed from the results, and Óscar Pereiro confirmed as the race winner, thus adding to Pinarello's victory total.

The Tour de France

The climb to the summit of the Ballon d'Alsace is one of 7 mountain passes on the "Historic Route of the Tour de France"

The Tour de France first crossed the Ballon d'Alsace in 1905 for the second edition of the race. Both that year and the next, René Pottier was the first rider over the summit, and even won the race. For this feat of arms (and pedals), Henri Desgranges, the head of the tour, had a memorial stone erected in Pottier’s honour not far from the summit. It's a not-to-be-missed stop to pay homage to the "First king of the mountains". The Vosges Mountains certainly owe the cyclist the notoriety of the climb to the Ballon d'Alsace, recognised as a "Historic Route of the Tour de France" in 2019. It joined six other iconic French mountain passes. The climb starts at the Roche du Cerf in Lepuix (at an elevation of 549 m) and rises to the summit to reach a height of 1,173 m. Cycle tourists can ride in the tire treads of Tour de France champions along the route with 11 signs providing information to manage their efforts (distance, slope, and the history of the Tour de France).

Follow the champions and Gros Léon!

Granted the “Land of Cyclists” distinction by the French Cycling Federation, the Vosges Mountains lead the way in making popular mountain passes accessible and secure. A mid-sized mountain range, the Vosges are the perfect terrain for both beginners and future champions, with a few fun and challenging rides through the mountain passes of La Schlucht, Grosse Pierre, the Ballon d'Alsace, and Le Markstein. Are you ready to compete against Christophe Mengin, a Vosges native and a professional cyclist and winner of the polka dot jersey in 2002? Stay in an accommodation with the Accueil Vélo label and explore the treasures of the Vosges Mountains on a time trial or while following the itinerary of a past race. Nowhere else will your efforts be more rewarded than with the breathtaking view of the blue line of the Vosges Mountains so dear to Jules Ferry. Are you an early riser? Marvel as the chamois saunter through the upper mountain pastures and the icy meadows of the summits. Then recharge your batteries with a delicious bilberry pie brimming with antioxidants. How about one last race with the favourite mascot of the Tour de France? At the head of the publicity caravan for 11 years, Gros Léon is the official sweeper truck of the race. And like any self-respecting athlete, he trains the rest of the year in the Vosges Mountains maintaining smooth roads for cyclists. Will you be the champion of the stage in the Vosges Mountains?

Since 2012, La Planche des Belles Filles has hosted five stage finishes of the Tour de France, establishing itself as an essential stop for this legendary event. The mountain pass is certainly shorter than its neighbours with an ascent of only 6 km, but the climb is very difficult, with sections at 13% and a final wall with a slope of 20%. It's a highly anticipated stage where great champions have won, including Christopher Froome, Vincenzo Nibali, and Tadej Pogacar. Are you ready to compete against these cycling greats? While the climb is strenuous, it also boasts beautiful landscapes, like when the Ballon de Servance comes into view. La Planche des Belles Filles is worth the effort, with a rewarding and stunning view of the whole valley at the top. And who knows, you just might cross paths with Thibaut Pinot, a local cyclist who trains on the roads in the area. Ready to take up the challenge?

Throughout 110 editions (up to 2023), the Tour de France has been won by 36 different bike brands . Many of these brands are unknown to cycling fans today. Few bike brands, such as Colnago, Pinarello , Specialized , and Trek , are synonymous with cycling fans today.

The road bike industry has undergone massive change and innovation in the past 20 years by introducing new technologies such as electronic shifting , carbon fiber frames, disc brakes, and tubeless tires .

This article will go back in history and explore all the Tour de France winning bikes .

Pinarello has a long history in cycling, dating back to 19534, when it was founded by Giovanni Pinarello in Treviso, Italy. With 15 Tour de France wins, Pinarello is the most successful bike brand at the Tour de France.

Pinarello’s dominance at the Tour de France can be summed up in two eras.

• Mid-1990s. Miguel Indurain won four consecutive Tour de France from 1992 to 1995, followed by Bjarne Riis (1996) and Jan Ullrich (1997).
• Mid-2010s. Team Sky (Ineos-Grenadiers) won seven Tour de France with Bradley Wiggins (2012), Chris Froome (2013, 2015, 2016, 2017), Geraint Thomas (2018), and Egan Bernal (2019).

Today, Pinarello’s top-of-the-line bike is the Pinarello Dogma F .

L’Auto (now L’Equipe) is not a bike brand but the French newspaper that started the Tour de France in 1903.

From 1930 to 1939, Henri Desgrange, the newspaper’s owner, required all riders to paint their bikes’ downtube with L’Auto as part of the marketing campaign and publicity stunt to increase the race profile.

During that period, riders competed based on national teams, so there wasn’t any commercial conflict of interest.

Today, most of us know Peugeot as the French automotive brand. Peugeot started making bicycles way back in 1882 and won their first Tour de France with Louis Trousselier in 1905 and their last win came in 1977 with Bernard Thévenet.

In the past 50 years, the bicycle arm of Peugeot has gone through various ownership. Today it’s part of Cycleuope, which owns bike brands such as Bianchi and Gitane.

Here’s an interesting fact; Peugeot has a complete bike lineup from road to mountain, city, kids, and electric bikes.

Gitane is a French bike brand synonymous with racing from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. All nine of Gitane’s Tour de France wins occurred during this period with legendary French riders such as Bernard Hinault (4), Jacques Anquetil (2), Laurent Fignon (2), and Belgian Lucien Van Impe (1).

Today, Gitane is part of Cycleuope, which owns the Bianchi and Peugeot bike brands. Gitane produces mostly city and mountain bikes today. They don’t have much presence outside of France.

Founded in 1976, Trek is one of the leading bike brands today with its men’s and women’s World Tour teams.

Trek’s first Tour de France win was in 1999 by Lance Armstrong. For the next seven years until 2005, Lance Armstrong dominated the Tour de France, helping to raise Trek’s profile in the United States and worldwide. In 2012, all seven of Lance’s Tour de France wins were nulled.

Trek’s other three Tour de France wins were with Alberto Contador in 2007, 2009, and 2010 although the 2010 win was later nulled.

Trek offers the riders three types of road bikes; Trek Emonda (lightweight), Trek Madone (aero) and Trek Domane (endurance), and the Trek Speed Concept (TT).

Alcyon was a French bicycle, motorcycle, and automotive brand active from 1903 to 1954. They sponsored their own cycling team from 1905 to 1959 under different names such as Alcyon-Dunlop, Alcyon-Soly, Alcyon-Armor, and Alcyon-Leroux

Their first Tour de France win was in 1909 with François Faber, a Luxembourgian rider. Their last win was in 1929 with Belgian Maurice De Waele. From 1930 onwards, the Tour de France organizers required the teams to paint their bikes’ downtube with L’Auto, the newspaper that started the Tour de France.

Eddy Merckx is no stranger to cycling fans. He’s widely known as the most successful cyclist of all time , winning the Tour de France (5 times), Giro d’ Italia (5 times), and 34 Tour de France stages .

The Eddy Merckx bike brand was only started in 1980 after he retired. Eddy Merckx was riding bikes built by Masi and Kessels with his name painted on the downtube for his five Tour de France wins.

In 2008, Eddy Merckx sold all his shares in the company to Sobradis, a Belgian holding company. In 2017, another Belgian company, Race Productions, which owns Ridley Bikes, took over Eddy Merckx after struggling with sales for the past decade.

Automoto was a French bicycle and motorcycle manufacturer that started in 1902. It was the dominant bike brand in the mid-1920s, with four consecutive Tour de France wins from 1923 to 1923 with three different riders.

In 1930, it was bought by Peugeot and sadly discontinued in 1962.

Bianchi is the oldest bicycle manufacturing company today. It was founded in Italy back in 1885 by Edoardo Bianchi who was a 21-year-old medical instrument maker.

All of Bianchi’s three Tour de France wins were achieved by Italian riders. Fausto Coppi won in 1949 and 1952 and Marco Pantini won in 1998. Bianchi was present at the World Tour with Team Jumbo-Visma (2014 to 2020) and Team BikeExchange (2021.

Team Arkea-Samsic will ride the Bianchi Oltre (aero) and Bianchi Specialissima (lightweight) at the 2023 Tour de France.

Today, Bianchi bikes are known for their Celeste color, also known as Bianchi Green.

Colnago has a long history, dating back to 1952. It was founded by Ernesto Colnago near Milan, Italy. In May 2020, Chimera Investments LLC, based in the UAE, acquired a majority stake in Colnago.

Colnago’s first Tour de France win was in 1960 by Italian rider, Gastone Nencini. It was a long 60-year wait for their second win until Tadej Pogačar won two consecutive Tour de France in 2020 and 2021. He also won the Best Young Rider and Climber Classification in these two years riding the Colnago V3Rs .

In 2023, Tadej Pogačar will be riding the Colnago V4Rs in an attempt to win his third Tour de France General Classification .

Helyett is a little-known French bicycle manufacturer started by the Picard brothers in 1926. It took its name from a lead character from a late 19th-century play, Miss Helyett, which is why the Helyett logo has a young women’s face on it.

Frenchman, Jacques Anquetil won three of his five Tour de France onboard a Helyett bike in 1957, 1961, and 1962.

La Sportive’s three Tour de France wins occurred right after World War 1, from 1919 to 1921. Right after the war, Europe was in bad shape and many bicycle manufacturers were either out of business or didn’t have the manufacturing capabilities.

The remaining brands include Alcyon, Armor, Automoto, Clément, La Française, Gladiator, Griffon, Hurtu, Labor, Liberator, Peugeot, and Thomann came together. They provided more than half the peloton with various bicycles and components so that the Tour de France can take place.

Once each brand recovered from the aftermath of World War 1, La Sportive disbanded in 1922.

Ligue des champions : le Borussia Dortmund prend l'avantage sur le PSG dans la première manche

Le Borussia Dortmund a remporté la demi-finale aller face au PSG sur le score de 1 à 0 grâce à un but de Niclas Füllkrug. Paris, qui a joué de malchance face au but du gardien du club allemand, peut encore y croire pour le match retour à domicile. 

Publié le : 01/05/2024 - 22:56

Paris bousculé, Pari battu mais Paris en vie. Le PSG a concédé la défaite , mercredi 1er mai, en Allemagne face au Borussia Dortmund (1-0). Mais les Allemands n'ont qu'un but d'avance face à des Parisiens qui auraient pu espérer mieux, ayant touché deux fois le poteau.

Devant un incandescent Mur jaune, le début de la rencontre ressemble à une partie de ping-pong. Les deux équipes ont chacun leur tour leur temps fort. Le Borussia Dortmund est le premier à tenter de s'installer dans le camp adverse.

Le premier tir est cependant à mettre au crédit du Français Ousmane Dembélé. Face à son ex-club, le Parisien croise trop sa frappe (11e). Les Allemands répondent par Sabitzer mais le gardien du PSG Gianluigi Donnarumma s'interpose (14e).

Dans la foulée, Paris prend le contrôle du match et enchaîne les offensives. La défense du Borussia est sous pression mais résiste. Kylian Mbappé se montre remuant. Dans ces conditions, Dortmund s'en remet aux coups de pied arrêtés. Brandt vise le premier poteau sur coup franc, Ruiz est là pour dégager de la tête. Brandt prend sa chance ensuite mais le défenseur central parisien Marquinhos dévie (29e).

Mais alors que Paris semble enfin en mesure de marquer, le Borussia Dortmund trouve la faille. Monté jusqu'à la moitié de terrain du PSG , Schlotterbeck délivre une ouverture aérienne plein axe qui échoue sur Fullkrüg, couvert par Marquinhos. L'Allemand remporte le duel (36e, 1-0).

HE IS HIM pic.twitter.com/rbE2VrDPls — Borussia Dortmund (@BlackYellow) May 1, 2024

Un coup dur pour Paris qui perd également sur blessure Lucas Hernandez pour une douleur au genou survenu sur le but. Le PSG accuse le coup et Sabitzer est proche du break. Adeyemi centre depuis la gauche, Sabitzer joue le une-deux en s'appuyant sur Füllkrug mais sa demi-volée est arrêtée par Donnarumma (44e).

Double poteau pour le PSG 

Luis Enrique garde sa confiance en ses joueurs et laisse une équipe inchangée au retour des vestiaires. Une méthode qui semble porter ses fruits : Mbappé est trouvé dans la surface et enroule une frappe du droit qui vient heurter le poteau gauche de Kobel. Dans la foulée, Hakimi tire à ras de terre, cette fois-ci sur le poteau droit de Kobel, miraculé (49e). Quelques minutes plus tard, Marquinhos adresse une ouverture millimétrée pour Ruiz qui décroise trop sa tête (56e). 

Le Borussia Dortmund se reprend et tente d'éteindre la révolte parisienne. Sancho s'infiltre encore une fois dans la surface et adresse un centre pour Füllkrug. À bout portant, le buteur manque le doublé (60e). Dans la foulée, il réclame un penalty pour un contact avec Nuno Mendes. Fin de non-recevoir de l'arbitre (63e). 

La rencontre s'installe dans un faux rythme mais le PSG ne renonce pas. Mbappé amène le ballon dans la surface de Dortmund, fixe Sabitzer et offre une petite louche subtile vers Dembélé. Le numéro 10 tente en pivot mais bute sur Kobel (72e). C'est encore Dembélé qui envoie une frappe bien au-dessus à huit mètres du but (82e).

Le Brésilien Marquinhos, capitaine exemplaire durant la soirée, sauve une dernière fois ses coéquipiers parisiens d'un tacle miraculeux pour contrer un tir de Brandt (87e). Mais le PSG ne reviendra pas au score. Il devra attendre le 7 mai pour renverser la table. Il s'agira alors du dernier match de Ligue des champions de Kylian Mbappé au Parc des Princes avec Paris. L'occasion rêvée de faire les choses en grand pour le prodige de Bondy ?

Les Parisiens s'inclinent sur la plus petite des marges dans cette demi-finale aller face à Dortmund. ⏳ 𝐑𝐢𝐞𝐧 𝐧'𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭 ! Rendez-vous au Parc des Princes mardi prochain ! 👊🔴🔵 #UCL | #BVBPSG 1⃣-0⃣ pic.twitter.com/F3en1GZIVG — Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) May 1, 2024

'Less flashy' PSG crowned champions of France for 12th time

PSG won their 12th Ligue 1 title on Sunday. While Kylian Mbappé was still the star, this season was marked by an improved team cohesion, a sign of the change of direction initiated by the club two years ago.

Some ideas need time to take hold. And then there are those of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), which regularly change direction and evolve according to the latest Champions League disappointment, but sometimes prosper. The club's 12 th French league title, clinched on Sunday, April 28 – after Monaco lost 3-2 at Lyon – validates the change of course announced in June 2022 by Nasser Al-Khelaifi.

"Maybe we should change our slogan. 'Dream bigger' is nice, but today we need to be more realistic. We don't want any more flashy, bling-bling, it's the end of glitter," the club's president had warned in an interview with Le Parisien . "We expect all the players to do a lot more than they did last season. A lot more!"

It's not yet time to take stock of a season far from over for PSG, as they are still in a position to complete an unprecedented treble for a French club, should they win the Champions League – Paris faces Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals on May 1 and May 7 – and the Coupe de France final against Lyon on May 25. And it is not on the basis of their performance in Ligue 1 that the club from the capital is judged, given its outrageous domination of the league – with resources out of all proportion to those of its rivals.

The results don't always match observers' sensations. Last year, for example, although Paris led the standings from the first to the last day of the league, the season was unanimously perceived as one of the worst of the Qatari era. Conversely, this year, the French champions only took the lead in Ligue 1 at the end of matchday 12, even though it is this season that the turnaround begun two years ago seems to have taken effect. "The star of this Parisian group is the collective," rejoiced Luis Fernandez, a former PSG player and coach.

'The most consistent PSG since Blanc'

When Al-Khelaifi called for drastic changes in June 2022, Paris had just won Ligue 1, but coach Mauricio Pochettino knew he was about to be sacked. Lionel Messi was completing his first season at PSG, but his relationship with the fans was already heading downhill. PSG was about to hire Christophe Galtier and, unwillingly, face the new coach's legal woes; experience another Champions League failure; and be accused of being lax with Neymar and Messi, seen as placing themselves above the institution.

The change this season is clear. "It's been a long time since we've seen a collective soul in Paris like this year's. We felt a real turning point with a more balanced collective," said Benjamin Nivet, a former football player now serving as a commentator for Prime Video. "This is the most coherent PSG since Laurent Blanc [the coach from 2013 to 2016]. The squad was less balanced in recent seasons. Today, it's no longer a sum of individualities piled on top of each other."

Cervélo’s Revamped Áspero Gravel Bike Arrives With a Slimmer, Aerodynamic Silhouette

The chosen bike of the reigning tour de france champions..

Among the countless bike brands – some of which run into the tens of thousands – Cervélo is lauded by many as the most capable and versatile gravel bike , whether on a flat road or a steep climb. Perhaps the best testament to its superior performance is the reigning Visma-Lease a Bike: the team that won the Tour de France in 2022 and 2023 exclusively rides Cervélo models.

Consistently building on its capabilities, the Cervélo team has redesigned its flagship model, the Áspero. Originally rolled out in 2019, the new-and-improved Áspero offers greater comfort and aerodynamic performance.
