The 1965 Tour de France was memorable for a number of reasons. In his first year as a professional, Felice Gimondi, a substitute replacement on the Salvarani team, captures the overall title ahead of Raymond Poulidor, last year's second place finisher. The 52nd edition of the Grand Boucle was counter-clockwise (Pyrenees first) and consisted of 22 stages and 4,177 km (2,595 mi) with an average speed of 35.886 km/h (22.3 mph).[1]
Gimondi would go on to become one of only five riders, the others being Alberto Contador and five-time Tour winners Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx and Bernard Hinault, to have won all three of the major Tours. Besides Gimondi's first tour and win, it was a first for other reasons: the 1965 Tour started in Cologne, Germany (the first time the Tour started in Germany,[2] and only the third time it started outside France), and it was the first time the start ramp was used in time trials.

[edit] Participants
Jacques Anquetil, who won the previous four Tours de France (1961–1964), did not participate in this tour; this made Raymond Poulidor, who became second in the previous Tour, the main favourite.[2]
[edit] Race details
Jan Janssen, who won the points classification the previous year successfully defended his title; he would go onto win another points title in 1967 and the overall title at the 1968 Tour de France.
Julio Jiménez won two stages and his first of three consecutive mountains classification. Jiminez also won the mountains classification at the 1965 Vuelta a España—becoming one of (now) four riders to complete the Tour/Vuelta double by winning both races' mountains competitions in the same year.
