The 2001 Tour de France was particularly difficult, having contained a 67-km long team time trial, two individual time trials and five mountain-top finishes on consecutive days, the second of which being the Chamrousse special category climb time trial. Thus, all the high-mountain stages were grouped one after the other, with one rest day in between, following the climbing time trial. France was ridden 'clockwise', and thus the Alps were visited before the Pyrenees. The Tour started in France, but in the first week Belgium was visited as well. The traditional finish was on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
The great favorite was the winner of 1999 and 2000, the American Lance Armstrong. His major opponent, like last year, would probably be German Jan Ullrich. Other major contenders seemed to be Joseba Beloki from Spain, Christophe Moreau from France and Francesco Casagrande from Italy. Not starting, because their teams were not selected, were Swiss Alex Zülle, Italian climber Marco Pantani and Italian sprinter Mario Cipollini.
Erik Zabel won his record sixth consecutive points classification victory.

[edit] Participants
After the Tour organisation felt that the 2000 Tour de France included not enough French teams, they changed the selection procedure as follows.[2]
- US Postal was selected because it included the winner of the previous edition (Lance Armstrong).
- Team Telekom was selected because it included the winner of the 2000 UCI Road World Cup (Erik Zabel).
- Mapei-Quick Step was selected because it won the team classifications in the 2000 Giro d'Italia
- Kelme-Costa Blanca was selected because it won the team classifications in both the 2000 Tour de France and 2000 Vuelta a España.
- This was extended to 16 teams based on the UCI ranking in the highest UCI division at the end of 2001, after compensating for transfers. The teams selected in this way were:[2]
- Although initially it was announced that four wildcards would be given, the tour organisation decided to add five teams:[2]
In total, 21 teams participated, each with 9 cyclists, for a total of 189 cyclists.[3]
