The 54th Tour de France took place from June 29 to July 23, 1967 and ran over 4,780 km on 22 stages. After only four years, the brand teams were replaced by national teams. This led to the situation that smaller teams like Great Britain, in order to be able to compete with a complete team, started with riders who had a professional license, but were real recreational cyclists like Arthur Metcalfe or Peter Chisman . 130 racing drivers took part in the tour, 88 of which were classified.
Race course
For the first time, a Tour de France began in 1967 with a prologue won by the Spaniard José-Maria Errandonea . On the fifth stage in Jambes , Belgium , the Frenchman Roger Pingeon celebrated a stage win after a solo ride and took over the yellow jersey . Although he lost the jersey to Raymond Riotte two days later , he was able to get it back on the stage of the Ballon d'Alsace . Pingeon's team mate and last year's winner Lucien Aimar won this stage, he finished fifth at the end of the tour, at the same time as the Dutchman Jan Janssen , who also won a stage.
Raymond Poulidor , weakened after a fall in the Vosges Mountains, put himself at the service of the French team and helped Pingeon defend his lead. Poulidor was also able to win the time trial on the 22nd stage. This final stage was the last to end in the Parisian Prinzenpark , which was then torn down.
The Spaniard Julio Jiménez , who finished second overall, won the mountain classification for the third time . Jan Janssen won the green jersey .
The Tour de France was overshadowed by the death of the British Tom Simpson , who collapsed in the blazing sun after doping with alcohol and amphetamines on the climb to Mont Ventoux . Simpson, who wore the yellow jersey for a few days at the 1962 Tour de France and finished sixth, attacked early on the stage to Carpentras via Mont Ventoux. About two kilometers from the summit of the Ventoux, after some drivers had overtaken him, Simpson collapsed. He could not be persuaded by his team leader to give up the race and got on his bike again. After another 500 meters he fell unconscious from the bike and could not be rescued by ventilation and rapid transport by helicopter to a hospital. Three ampoules of amphetamines were found in Simpson's jersey pocket.
The next day, the riders agreed with the tour management to continue their journey, conceding the day's victory on the following stage to a fellow Simpsons: Barry Hoban was allowed to cross the finish line three minutes before the peloton in honor of the Simpsons .
