The 1907 Tour de France was the 5th Tour de France. Taking place between 8 July and 4 August 1907, the race totaled 4488 km (2,788 mi) and the average riding speed was 28.47 km/h (17.69 mi/h).[2] The winner of the 1906 Tour de France, René Pottier, had committed suicide so was not defending his title.

This year's Tour de France, unlike its predecessor, was almost free of sabotage but the cheating that plagued the previous races continued. Emile Georget won six stages, and was close to winning the race, when he was penalized for borrowing a bicycle during the ninth stage. The lead then transferred to Lucien Petit-Breton. Petit-Breton won two stages, and the overall classification.

Changes from the 1906 Tour de France

The race was again contested by the points system, as in the previous year.[3] The length again increased by one stage, and for the first time Switzerland was included.[2][3] The mountain stages had been so successful, according to the organiser Henri Desgrange, that the western Alps were included.[4]

Participants

Not all cyclists were competing for the victory, some only joined as tourists. The most notable of them was Henri Pépin. Pépin had hired two riders, Jean Dargassies[Notes 1] and Henri Gauban to ride with him. They treated the race as a pleasure ride, stopping for lunch when they chose and spending the night in the best hotels they could find.[5] This made Dargassies and Gaubin the first domestiques in the history of the Tour de France. During the race, they found another Tour de France competitor, Jean-Marie Teychenne, lying in a ditch. They helped him get up, fed him, and from that moment Teycheime was also a domestique.[4][6]

As in the previous years, there were two classes of cyclists, the coureurs de vitesse and the coureurs sur machines poinçonnées. Of the 93 cyclists starting the race, 82 were in the poinçonnée category, which meant that they had to finish the race on the same bicycle as they left, and if it was broken they had to fix it without assistance.[7]

Race details

Early in the race, Louis Trousselier, François Faber and Emile Georget were the main contenders.[2] In the second stage, the Tour passed the French-German border to finish in Metz, in 1907 part of Germany. The German authorities allowed the cyclists to finish there, but did not allow the French flag to be flown, or the cars of race officials to enter the city.[8] At the end of the stage, Georget beat Trousselier with a very small margin. After inquiry, tour organiser Desgrange decided to put both cyclists in first place.[9] In the third stage, the Tour returned to France, and at the border, the riders were stopped by two French customs officers, the delay taking so long that the stage had to be re-started.[4]

Emile Georget, the winner of six stages in the 1907 Tour de France.

Emile Georget won five of the first eight stages, and had a commanding lead.[4] In the seventh stage, Marcel Cadolle, at that time in second place,[10] fell and had his steer penetrating his knee.[11][12]

During stage 9, when Georget was leading the race, he broke his frame[11] at a checkpoint. According to the rules, Georget should have fixed his bicycle alone; he knew this would take him more than five hours, so he switched bicycles with his team mate Pierre-Gonzague Privat,[4] which was against the rules, so Georget was given a fine of 500 francs.[2][13] After this stage 9, won by Petit-Breton, the general classification was as follows:

General classification after stage 9[14]
Rank Rider Points
1  Emile Georget (FRA) 17
2  Lucien Petit-Breton (FRA) 37
3  Louis Trousselier (FRA) 40
4  Gustave Garrigou (FRA) 53

The Alcyon team, with Trousselier as best placed cyclist,[15] was not satisfied with the fine given to Georget, and left the Tour in protest.[11][16]

After the tenth stage, the organisers decided to Georget back from the fourth place of the ninth stage to the 48th and last place,[11][13] which effectively costed him 44 points in the general classification, moving him from first to third place.[15] The new classification, after the tenth stage, thus became

General classification after stage 10[13]
Rank Rider Points
1  Lucien Petit-Breton (FRA) 39
2  Gustave Garrigou (FRA) 54
3  Emile Georget (FRA) 64

The lead so transferred to Lucien Petit-Breton. Although he had already finished in fifth place and fourth place in previous years,[17] he was still relatively unknown, and had started in the "poinçonnée" category of riders without support of a team.[2] Petit-Breton finished the next stages all in the top three, so his lead never became in danger any more. At the end of the race, he had increased his lead to a margin of 19 points to Garrigou and 27 points to Georget.

General classification

Even though 110 riders were on the starting list, 17 did not who up, so the race started with 93 cyclists. The general classification was calculated by points: at every stage, the winner was given one point, the next cyclist two points, etc. After the eighth stage, when only 49 cyclists were still in the race, the points given in the first eight stages were redistributed among the remaining cyclists, in accordance with their positions in those stages. At the end of the Tour de France, 33 cyclist remained.[3] The cyclists officially were not grouped in teams, but some cyclists had the same sponsor, even though they were not allowed to work together.

Final general classification (1–10)[3]
Rank Rider Sponsor Points Category[19]
1  Lucien Petit-Breton (FRA) Peugeot-Wolber 47 Poinçonnées
2  Gustave Garrigou (FRA) Peugeot-Wolber 66 Vitesse
3  Emile Georget (FRA) Peugeot-Wolber 74 Vitesse

9  Aloïs Catteau (BEL) – 196 Poinçonnées
10  Ferdinand Payan (FRA) – 227 Poinçonnées

The total prize money was 25000 francs, of which 4000 francs were given to Petit-Breton for winning the Tour.[9] In total, he received more than 7000 francs.[19]

Other classifications

Lucien Petit-Breton was also the winner of the "machines poinçonnées" category.[20]

The organising newspaper l'Auto named Emile Georget the meilleur grimpeur. This unofficial title is the precursor to the mountains classification.[21]

Aftermath

In the 1908 Tour de France, Lucien Petit-Breton started again. He won five stages and the general classification, and became the first cyclist to win the Tour de France two times.[22]

Notes

  1. ^ His real name was Dargaties but the Tour spelled his name wrongly and the error stuck.
  2. ^ In 1907, there was no distinction in the rules between plain stages and mountain stages; the icons shown here indicate that the stage included mountains.
  3. ^ a b At first, Georget was declared winner, but after investigation by tour organiser Henri Desgrange, Trousselier was also declared winner.
