[edit] Changes from the 1966 Tour de France

This tour was the first to have a prologue, a short individual time-trial prior to stage racing.[2]

The previous years, the Tour had been contested by trade teams, but in 1967, the national teams returned.[2]

[edit] Participants

The 1967 Tour started with 130 cyclists, divided into 13 teams of 10 cyclists.[2] Eight teams were pure national teams:

  • France
  • Germany
  • Belgium
  • Spain
  • Great Britain
  • Italy
  • Netherlands
  • Switzerland/Luxembourg (combined)

And six teams were additional national teams:

  • Red devils (young Belgian cyclists)
  • Esperanza (young Spanish cyclists)
  • Primavera (young Italian cyclists)
  • Bleuets de France (young French cyclists)
  • Coqs de France (young French cyclists)
