Tour de France route 1947

The 34th Tour de France took place from June 25 to July 20, 1947. The first tour since 1939 after the interruption by the Second World War led on 21 stages over a total of 4655 km. 100 racing drivers took part in the tour, 53 of which were classified.

The year before, Jacques Goddet had founded the newspaper L'Équipe , which now took over the organization as the successor to L'Auto . The tour began in Paris and ran clockwise first to the north, then over the Alps and along the Mediterranean, before it went over the Pyrenees to Brittany and finally reached the destination in the French capital.

There was no German team at the start of the 1947 Tour; instead, five teams from France alone came from different regions of the country.

Race course

The Swiss Ferdy Kübler won the first stage . However, he only led the overall standings for one day, and on the next stage the Frenchman René Vietto was able to push Kübler out of the leading position with his stage win. He was able to maintain his lead up to the 19th stage, but then in the longest individual time trial in the history of the Tour (139 km) he was more than six minutes behind the Italian Pierre Brambilla and even almost ten minutes behind the French Jean Robic and fell back. The yellow jersey took Brambilla, but on the final stage in the Paris Parc des Princes , he had restored it to give Robic, who again attacked and so the tour victory won. He had already laid the foundation stone for his tour victory in the mountains, where he was able to win a stage in the Alps and a stage in the Pyrenees.

Brambilla, who was caught on the last stage, was able to console himself with winning the mountain classification. Albert Bourlon won the 273 km long royal stage of the 1947 Tour in a solo ride, which he finished in Luchon with a 16-minute lead.
