1905 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 6

Last updated March 02, 2019

The 1905 Tour de France was the 3rd edition of Tour de France, one of cycling's Grand Tours. The Tour began in Paris on 9 July and Stage 6 occurred on 20 July with a flat stage to Toulouse. The race finished in Paris on 29 July.

The 1905 Tour de France was the third edition of the Tour de France, held from 9 to 30 July, organized by the newspaper L'Auto. Following the disqualifications after the 1904 Tour de France, there were changes in the rules, the most important one being the general classification not made by time but by points. The race saw the introduction of mountains in the Tour de France, and René Pottier excelled in the first mountain, although he could not finish the race. Due in part to some of the rule changes, the 1905 Tour de France had less cheating and sabotage than in previous years, though they were not completely eliminated. It was won by Louis Trousselier, who also won four of the eleven stages.

Paris is the capital and most populous city of France, with an area of 105 square kilometres and an official estimated population of 2,140,526 residents as of 1 January 2019. Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of Europe's major centres of finance, commerce, fashion, science, and the arts.
