The 93rd Tour de France started on Saturday July 1, 2006 in Strasbourg and ended on Sunday July 23 on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris . It was driven counterclockwise, first through the Pyrenees , then through the Alps . The total length of the route was 3657.1 km and was thus slightly longer than in 2005 . After the exclusions before the start of the tour, 176 racing drivers took part, of which 139 were classified. The American Floyd Landis was chosen as the overall winner in Paris . The Tour de France 2006 was overshadowed by two doping scandals, in which Floyd Landis was involved. On September 20, 2007 Floyd Landis was stripped of the tour victory.
The overall winner of the 2006 tour is the Spaniard Óscar Pereiro .
Starting position
For the first time since 1999 , there was no team time trial on this edition of the Tour . Stages abroad were Esch-sur-Alzette in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg , Valkenburg in the Netherlands , Huy in Belgium and the Val d'Aran ( Pla-de-Beret ) in Spain . On the 1st stage, the tour also made a short detour to Germany (not a stage location).
In addition to the 20 UCI ProTeams seeded , two wild cards were awarded to Agritubel (France) and Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) from the UCI Continental Tour .
However, the latter was excluded on June 12th due to involvement in the Fuentes doping scandal in Spain, which could be done without approval from the UCI, as the team was not a member of the UCI Pro Tour and was only allowed to start on the basis of the wildcard. After the names of the suspected drivers in the doping scandal surrounding the Liberty Seguros-Würth team became known , the current successor team, Astana-Würth, was no longer able to participate in the 2006 Tour, as it had to suspend five of its nine drivers, and thus no longer according to the Tour regulations was eligible to start. Würth then ended the co-sponsorship of the cycling team.
In the run-up to the tour
Up until the day before the tour started, the experts were pretty much in agreement. In the first year after the Armstrong era , the German Jan Ullrich from Team T-Mobile and the Italian Ivan Basso from Team CSC were the most popular favorites. Ullrich wanted to get rid of the unlucky image of the past few years and after three second places during the Armstrong era and two further second places in 1996 and 1998, he wanted to repeat his tour victory in 1997 . In the last two years Basso has attracted more and more attention; Not only did he show himself to be an exceptional talent on the mountain (in the past two years only he was able to keep up with Armstrong on the mountain over the entire tour), but also had excellent individual time trial qualities. In relation to the last two years, Basso were given the greater chances, but the former time trial world champion Ullrich benefited from the fact that there was one less mountain stage at the 2006 tour, but one more individual time trial.
The Kazakh Alexander Vinokurow and the two Spaniards Francisco Mancebo and Alejandro Valverde belonged to the extended circle of favorites ; Andreas Klöden was second in the overall ranking of 2004, even ahead of Basso. In addition, there were good chances for Floyd Landis , George Hincapie and Paolo Savoldelli , the former noblemen of Lance Armstrong. The extended circle of favorites also included Iban Mayo , Haimar Zubeldia , Jaroslaw Popowytsch and Damiano Cunego .

Fuentes doping scandal
On June 29, 2006, two days before the start of the tour, the Spanish media reported on a doping scandal in which international cycling in particular, but also sports such as tennis and football, are involved. The main character is the then team doctor of the Liberty Seguros cycling team , Eufemiano Fuentes . As part of a large-scale raid by Spanish police Guardia Civil blood bags, doping substances and a list of suspected code names of cyclists were seized.
The following day the list of 58 names was published. A large part of the world's elite is on this list: Jan Ullrich , Ivan Basso , Francisco Mancebo , Óscar Sevilla and Joseba Beloki are the most famous names. On the same day, the T-Mobile team suspended its two top drivers Jan Ullrich and Oscar Sevilla. A few hours later, the Tour de France race management disqualified the remaining top favorites Ivan Basso and Francisco Mancebo. In addition, they announced that they would not allow any of the suspected drivers to start unless they could expressly distance themselves from it. After a joint crisis meeting, all team bosses declared almost 24 hours before the start of the tour that not a single driver who was on the doping list would start. There will also be no subsequent nominations. Since the Astana-Würth team had to suspend five drivers, this team with only four remaining drivers (including Alexander Vinokurow ) was no longer eligible to start and was excluded from the 2006 Tour de France.
The outsiders were now the favorites. New top favorites were Alejandro Valverde and Floyd Landis , but Levi Leipheimer , George Hincapie , Gilberto Simoni , Damiano Cunego , Paolo Savoldelli , Cadel Evans , Carlos Sastre , Denis Menschow and Andreas Klöden were also to be expected. But it could also be the chance for a driver that almost nobody had on the bill before.
Floyd Landis doping case
Floyd Landis was seen as a worthy overall winner, especially due to his solo ride on the 17th stage . However, three days after the end of the tour, the Phonak Hearing Systems team confirmed that Landis had tested positive for testosterone in an A-sample after this stage .
On August 5, 2006, it was announced that the B sample was also positive. Landis was therefore likely to be disqualified. Floyd Landis , on the other hand, protested his innocence and attributed the excessively high testosterone level to cortisone , which is on the doping list but which he was allowed to use because of a hip problem. On September 20, 2007 Landis was stripped of the 2006 Tour victory by the American Arbitration Association, and Landis was banned retrospectively for two years until January 20, 2009. Instead of Landis, Óscar Pereiro, who was now more than half an hour behind in the overall standings, was declared the winner of the 2006 Tour de France. The International Court of Justice for Sports (CAS) confirmed the judgment against Landis on June 30, 2008 in the final instance.

Overall rating
The overall standings were fought to the end, and an extraordinary number of drivers were able to wear the Maillot jaune . Due to the topography of the race, the jersey stayed in the hands of the sprinters, especially Tom Boonen, during the first week of the tour . With his victory in the 1st time trial, Toursenior Serhij Hontschar was able to win the yellow jersey, while all favorites except Levi Leipheimer kept their chances. In the Pyrenees, the jersey went to Floyd Landis not unexpectedly , although he had lost valuable seconds in the prologue because he started too late due to technical problems. His team Phonak Cycling Team did not want to defend the jersey at the time. So it happened that the overall lead was passed to Óscar Pereiro , who finished a transfer stage in an escape group with 30 minutes (!) Ahead of the field, which in retrospect deprived Andreas Klöden of the possible tour victory.
As planned, Floyd Landis was able to recapture the jersey in the Alps - namely in the 1st Alpine stage on the ascent to Alpe d'Huez . However, in the final climb to La Toussuire on the king's stage that followed , Landis collapsed unexpectedly and lost a lot of time, so that the top spot went back to Pereiro. Landis was able to massively reduce the gap to Pereiro again with a tough ride on the 3rd and final stage of the Alps , and with his 3rd place in the time trial right before the final stage, Landis was able to regain the yellow jersey.
With the exception of Andreas Klöden (2nd place) and Carlos Sastre (3rd place), the other drivers who were considered favorites for the overall victory remained well below expectations. Alejandro Valverde gave up the tour early after a fall and was therefore unable to show his skills.
Mountain scoring
Michael Rasmussen was the favorite in the mountain classification . He lived up to expectations with his solo ride on the queen's stage and defended the dotted jersey to Paris. One could still expect an attack from Óscar Pereiro from Caisse d'Epargne , who, however, no longer targeted the dotted jersey due to his overall chances of victory. As expected, the German Fabian Wegmann from the Gerolsteiner team , Christophe Moreau and Michael Boogerd tried again and again, as in previous years, to collect as many points as possible in the mountain classification. David de la Fuente , who wore the jersey for a long time, was able to fend off these attacks well and only had to admit defeat to Rasmussen towards the end.
Scoring
With Tom Boonen , Robbie McEwen and Thor Hushovd , there were some contenders for the green jersey after Alessandro Petacchi canceled his tour start due to his fall at the Giro d'Italia . Early on, however, McEwen showed his competitors the champion and won the jersey with ease. Boonen gave up the race during the 15th stage. Erik Zabel and Stuart O'Grady did not get beyond an outsider role .
Young talent evaluation
In the battle for the white jersey for the best young professional in the overall standings, the drivers who otherwise have no captain for the overall standings were able to calculate good chances. These included Damiano Cunego , but also José Rujano , Thomas Lövkvist , Andrij Hrywko and Maxim Iglinski had a free hand. Markus Fothen was also able to calculate his chances, especially after his captain Levi Leipheimer failed in the first time trial. This year 24 men are competing for the extra prizes in this category. In fact, Fothen wore the jersey for most of the stages, but in the end he was narrowly defeated by Cunego.
Stages
Overview
The prologue already ended with a surprise, with Thor Hushovd winning a sprinter and not one of the time trialists as expected.
The first six stages were characterized by escapes by individual lesser-known drivers who ran away shortly after the start, but were caught up again shortly before the finish. So the stages ended in the sprint. Most experts expected a duel between the top sprinters Thor Hushovd and Tom Boonen , but they had to admit defeat to other sprinters: Jimmy Casper won in the first stage and Robbie McEwen the next day . In the 3rd stage, an all-rounder fooled the sprinters; Matthias Kessler ran away on the incline shortly before the finish and won solo. The 3rd stage was overshadowed by several falls, including the overall winner Alejandro Valverde had to give up with a broken collarbone. In the 4th stage , Robbie McEwen was able to sprint himself the day's victory like two days before; However, he also benefited from a fall a few meters from the finish line. Óscar Freire won the sprint of the 5th stage . In the 6th stage , Robbie McEwen was able to realize his third stage win of this year on the Tour, which also safely defended his green jersey. Instead of stage wins, however, Hushovd was able to slip on the leader's yellow jersey at the beginning and Boonen up to the first time trial.
Serhij Hontschar won the first time trial by a large margin and also took over the yellow jersey. Of the overall winner favorites only Floyd Landis convinced with his 2nd place, all the others lost several minutes on Honjar. In the 8th stage , an outlier won solo for the first time with Sylvain Calzati . He had withdrawn from a six-man escape group 20 km from the destination. The 9th stage went back to a sprinter with Óscar Freire, after the race was again marked for a long time by an ultimately unsuccessful escape group.
The first preliminary decisions were made in the two stages of the Pyrenees . In the 10th stage , a leading group soon formed a leading duo: the Frenchman Cyril Dessel and the Spaniard Juan Miguel Mercado . Mercado finally won the stage a good seven minutes before the field in the sprint before Dessel. With this escape, Dessel became the new leader in both the overall and mountain ratings . Of the possible favorites, Iban Mayo and Levi Leipheimer reported bigger problems. In the 11th stage , which led over five demanding mountains, the favorites were eliminated on the last mountain. The stage winner Denis Menschow could only be followed by the new overall leader Floyd Landis and Levi Leipheimer, with Cadel Evans and Carlos Sastre a few seconds behind . Andreas Klöden lost 90 seconds. Iban Mayo gave up the tour. Dessel lost the yellow jersey to Landis and the dotted jersey to David de la Fuente .
The following three stages before the second rest day with their undulating terrain were made for outliers, and so Jaroslaw Popowytsch won the 12th stage (solo as the top rider in an escape group), the next day Jens Voigt (ahead of the new overall leader Óscar Pereiro 30 minutes before Field) and the 14th stage Pierrick Fédrigo (a few seconds before the approaching field).
The following three stages through the high Alps brought important preliminary decisions and made the starting position for the 2nd time trial very exciting: The 15th stage up to the legendary Alpe d'Huez was won by Fränk Schleck , who emerged as a soloist from an initial 25-strong breakaway group asserted. Floyd Landis recaptured the yellow jersey. With Tom Boonen , Robbie McEwens' worst competitor for the green jersey gave up the tour. On the following royal stage to La Toussuire , Óscar Pereiro was able to take over the overall lead again. Landis suffered a slump and lost over ten minutes to the Danish winner of the day Michael Rasmussen , who also won the dotted jersey with his solo trip. With a long escape, Floyd Landis returned the favor for his break-in the day before and won the 17th stage with ease. With this escape, he reduced his gap to the leader Óscar Pereiro to 30 seconds, who was able to defend his yellow jersey with a 12-second lead over Carlos Sastre. Markus Fothen had to hand over the white jersey to Italian Damiano Cunego , five seconds behind . Michael Rasmussen definitely secured the mountain classification.
The 18th stage won Matteo Tosatto in the sprint of a leading group. The decision finally followed in the time trial of the penultimate stage . Four drivers still had a chance of overall victory. Serhij Hontschar won the time trial with a clear lead over Andreas Klöden , who was able to overtake Carlos Sastre in the overall standings. Floyd Landis , who was later disqualified for doping, ended up ahead of Óscar Pereiro in the overall standings , who therefore only subsequently became the tour winner. Markus Fothen could not recapture the white jersey from the strong Damiano Cunego against expectations. The victory in the final stage was secured by Thor Hushovd, the same driver who had already won the prologue. Hushovd clearly beat the green jersey winner Robbie McEwen .
Rest days
The Tour de France 2006 had two rest days . The first was on July 10, 2006, the second on July 17, 2006.
The rest day is mostly used to cover long distances within France from one destination to the next starting point (by plane or TGV ). On the first day of rest, a distance of 520 kilometers was covered from Lorient to Bordeaux . The teams updated their respective objectives in press conferences. Furthermore, the day is used differently by the drivers.
