The 1929 Tour de France was the 23rd Tour de France, taking place June 30 to July 28, 1929. It consisted of 22 stages over 5,286 km, ridden at an average speed of 28.320 km/h.
Nicolas Frantz had won two consecutive Tours, in 1927 and 1928, and was looking for a third. In addition the 1926 Tour winner, Lucien Buysse, was looking for another title.
Victor Fontan, overall leader and wearer of the yellow jersey, crashed in the Pyrenees during stage 10, breaking the forks to his bicycle. Unfortunately that year a rule stated that a rider must finish a stage with the bike he started it with. Fontan had to go house to house, looking for a bike to borrow. He eventually found one and rode 145 km to the finish line, with his broken bike strapped to his back. At the end of the day Fontan quit the race in tears. The rule was removed for the 1930 Tour de France.
