The 19th Tour de France took place from June 21 to July 19, 1925.
As in previous years, the route ran counter-clockwise and had a similar course. Mulhouse and Évian-les-Bains were stage locations for the first time. In total, the drivers had to cover 5430 km on the 18 stages. This increased the number of stages of the tour, but reduced the length of the stage so that the total length remained about the same. 130 drivers took part in this tour, 49 were also rated.
Race course
As in the Tour de France in 1924 , Ottavio Bottecchia won the first stage and took the lead, but had to give it up again after the second stage. In the Pyrenees , Bottecchia lived up to its role as a favorite and regained the overall lead after two stage wins. The Italian won four parts in total. The average speed of the winner was 24.775 km / h.
In the overall standings, Bottecchia had a comfortable lead over Lucien Buysse and Bartolomeo Aimo , who fought a close battle for second place. No French could place themselves in the first places in the overall standings, the best local cyclist was Romain Bellenger in eleventh place.
