It was composed of 22 stages over 4669 km 0 on. The 1957 Tour was the first win for Jacques Anquetil, who won the Tour five times over his career. The French national team was very successful in the 1957 Tour de France; not only did they provide the winning cyclist, they also won the team classification, and almost every daily team classification. They lost only one cyclist (the previous year's winner Roger Walkowiak), and had the stage winner 12 times. They had Forestier winning the points classification, and Bergaud second in the mountains classification. Only once they did not have the yellow jersey for the leader in the general classification, when Barone took it after the seventh stage.http://www.archiefleeuwardercourant.nl/site/article.do?code=LC&date=19570722&id=LC-19570722-4001 Anquetil was de veelzijdigste renner; Darrigade eerste in Parc des Princes Leeuwarder Courant 22 July 1957 23 December 2009 nl Innovations and changes The Tour organisation had a conflict with the French television, and as a result there had almost been no live television coverage of the 1957 Tour de France.Thompson, p.283 At the last moment the organisers and the broadcaster agreed on how much the coverage rights would cost, and the race was broadcast.http://www.archiefleeuwardercourant.nl/site/article.do?code=LC&date=19570625&id=LC-19570625-3014 Franse televisie zendt toch Tour de France uit 25 June 1957 23 December 2009 nl For the other journalists, the conditions improved: a mobile press room with modern communication equipment was installed, so the journalists had the best conditions to report.Thompson, p.45 The cut-off time, which had been set at 10% of the winner in 1956, was reduced to 8% of the winner in 1957. In the seventh and eighth stage it would be 10% of the winner, while in stages 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18 the cut-off time would be 12% of the winner. In each stage, if the number of cyclists removed from the race would be more than 15% of the cyclists that started the stage, the cut-off time would be increased by 2%. The goal of this reduction in cut-off time was to make the race tougher.http://www.archiefleeuwardercourant.nl/site/article.do?code=LC&date=19570413&id=LC-19570413-15011 Bepalingen Ronde van Frankrijk verscherpt 13 April 1957 23 December 2009 nl For the first time since the introduction of the national team format in 1930, the riders were allowed to have advertising on their jerseys.Dauncey Hare 2003 Teams List of teams and cyclists in the 1957 Tour de France The teams entering the race were:The history of the Tour de France – Year 1957 – The starters http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1957/partants.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 2 April 2020 20em France Belgium Italy Netherlands Spain Luxembourg/Mixed Switzerland West South-East North-East/Centre South-West Île-de-France Pre-race favourites Charly Gaul, Neluxploeg 1959.jpg 150 Federico Bahamontes (1962).jpg 148 Pre-race favourites Charly Gaul (pictured in 1962) and Federico Bahamontes (pictured in 1962) The route of the 1957 Tour de France contained many mountains, so mountain specialists Charly Gaul and Federico Bahamontes were considered favourites.https://books.google.com/books?id=Rw-2AAAAIAAJ 162 Velo news, Volume 36, Edition 11 Inside Communications, Inc. 2007 Gaul had requested to ride in the Dutch team, but this was not allowed.http://www.archiefleeuwardercourant.nl/site/article.do?code=LC&date=19570620&id=LC-19570620-13006 Formatie Tour-ploeg geen groot probleem Leeuwarder Courant 20 June 1957 23 December 2009 nl Louison Bobet and Raphael Géminiani, two important French cyclists, did not race in 1957, so the French team needed new stars.

As a result, there was no accepted favourite. Roger Walkowiak, who had won the previous edition, had not shown good results since. Charly Gaul had lost the 1957 Giro d'Italia when he was almost sure of winning it, so he was not considered to be in great form. Gastone Nencini, who won the 1957 Giro, was not considered constant enough. The Spanish team was considered the best Spanish team ever, but they were more favored for the mountain classification than for the general classification. And the Belgian team was focussed around Jan Adriaensens.http://www.archiefleeuwardercourant.nl/site/article.do?code=LC&date=19570625&id=LC-19570625-5004 Etappe-wedstrijd nog 200 km langer; bergetappes zijn dit jaar zeer zwaar 25 June 1957 23 December 2009 nl Route and stages The 1957 Tour de France started on 27 June, and had two rest days, in Thonon-les-Bains and Barcelona,Augendre 2016 48 although the second rest day had a short time trial of less than 10 km.http://www.archiefleeuwardercourant.nl/site/article.do?code=LC&date=19570117&id=LC-19570117-5006 Tour de France 1957 langs andere route 17 January 1957 23 December 2009 nl The highest point of elevation in the race was 2556 m ft on at the summit tunnel of the Col du Galibier mountain pass on stage 10.Augendre 2016 177–178Tour de France "leeft" op het continent Tour de France "lives" on the continent https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ABCDDD:010831530:mpeg21:p007 Het Parool 25 June 1957 7 nl Delpher Every stage had a winning cyclist (the cyclist who crossed the finish line first, or in case of a time trial who took the shortest time to complete the course) and a team that wins the daily team classification (the team of which the three best cyclists had the lowest accumulated time). The cyclist who wins the stage therefore is not always part of the team that wins the daily team classification. In 1957, the split stages were numbered differently: the third stage consisted of the team time trial and the stage from Caen to Rouen but they were not called 3a and 3b; the fifteenth stage was only the stage from Perpignan to Barcelona, and the short individual time trial was referred to as the time trial between stage 15 and 16, without number. + Stage characteristics and winnershttp://memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1957.php Mémoire du cyclisme 44ème Tour de France 1957 fr https://web.archive.org/web/20120306132312/http://memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1957.php 6 March 2012 26 September 2016 deadAugendre 2016 48http://www.cvccbike.com/tour/top_ten.html#1957 Tour de France GC top ten Arian Zwegers CVCC 18 December 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20080516071832/http://www.cvccbike.com/tour/top_ten.html 16 May 2008 live The history of the Tour de France – Year 1957 – The stage winners http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1957/vainqueurs.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 2 April 2020 3 April 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200403002856/http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1957/vainqueurs.html dead Stage Date Course Distance Type Winner 1 27 June Nantes to Granville 204 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage André Darrigade FRA 2 28 June Granville to Caen 226 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage René Privat FRA 3a29 June Circuit de la Prairie, Caen 15 km on alt=|link=Team time trial|20px Team time trial FRA France 3b Caen to Rouen 134 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Jacques Anquetil FRA 4 30 June Rouen to Roubaix 232 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Marcel Janssens BEL 5 1 July Roubaix to Charleroi 170 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Gilbert Bauvin FRA 6 2 July Charleroi to Metz 248 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage André Trochut FRA 7 3 July Metz to Colmar 223 km on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Roger Hassenforder FRA 8 4 July Colmar to Besançon 192 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Pierino Baffi ITA 9 5 July Besançon to Thonon-les-Bains 188 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Jacques Anquetil FRA 6 July Thonon-les-Bains Rest day 10 7 July Thonon-les-Bains to Briançon 247 km on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Gastone Nencini ITA 11 8 July Briançon to Cannes 286 km on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) René Privat FRA 12 9 July Cannes to Marseille 239 km on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Jean Stablinski FRA 13 10 July Marseille to Alès 160 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Nino Defilippis ITA 14 11 July Alès to Perpignan 246 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Roger Hassenforder FRA 15a 12 July Perpignan to Barcelona (Spain) 197 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage René Privat FRA 15b 13 July Montjuïc circuit (Spain) 9.8 km on 20px|alt=|link= Individual time trial Jacques Anquetil FRA 13 July Barcelona Rest day 16 14 July Barcelona (Spain) to Ax-les-Thermes 220 km on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Jean Bourlès FRA 17 15 July Ax-les-Thermes to Saint-Gaudens 236 km on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Nino Defilippis ITA 18 16 July Saint-Gaudens to Pau 207 km on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Gastone Nencini ITA 19 17 July Pau to Bordeaux 194 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Pierino Baffi ITA 20 18 July Bordeaux to Libourne 66 km on 20px|link=Individual time trial|alt= Individual time trial Jacques Anquetil FRA 21 19 July Libourne to Tours 317 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage André Darrigade FRA 22 20 July Tours to Paris 227 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage André Darrigade FRA Total 4669 km 0 onAugendre 2016 109 Race overview thumb|upright|General classification winner Jacques Anquetil taking his victory lap at the end of the Tour in the Parc des Princes in Paris The first stage was won by André Darrigade, who had also won the first stage in the previous edition. The first stages were run in hot weather, and many cyclists had to give up. After six stages, there were only 83 cyclists remaining, from the 120 that started.Amels 1984 79–80 In the second stage, Darrigade's teammate Privat took over the yellow jersey. The Luxembourg favourite, Charly Gaul, abandoned on that stage due to sickness. In the fifth stage, French cyclist Jacques Anquetil took the lead in the general classification, so in the sixth stage he wore the yellow jersey for the first time in his career.Amels 1984 79–80 It was too early in the race to defend that jersey, so two days later he allowed regional cyclist Nicolas Barone to take the yellow jersey. One day later the French national team took back the yellow jersey, when Jean Forestier took the lead by 15 minutes.Amels 1984 79–80 In the ninth stage, Spanish climber Bahamontes abandoned. In stage 10, the first mountain stage, Anquetil took the lead back. Although Gastone Nencini won the stage, Anquetil was only one and a half minute behind, which was enough. In the second mountain stage the riders remained calm, as the French team was superior and dominated the race.Amels 1984 79–80 In the second part of the fifteenth stage, a short time trial of 10 km, Anquetil won his first time trial in the Tour de France. In the Pyrenées from stage 16 to stage 18, the attack on Anquetil's leading position did not take place. In stage 16 the weather turned bad, with cold, rain, hail and fog, which made the course dangerous. Several cyclists fell: Nello Lauredi broke his wrist and abandoned the race, and Stanislas Bober had to abandon due to a shoulder injury.Amels 1984 79–80 The main victims of the bad weather were reporter Alex Virothttp://www.eurosport.co.uk/cycling/tour-de-france/2017/the-remarkable-tale-of-alex-virot-the-tragic-tintin-of-the-tour-de-france_sto6242316/story.shtml The remarkable tale of Alex Virot, the tragic Tintin of the Tour de France Eurosport Felix Lowe 11 July 2017 and his motor cyclist René Wagner, who fell from their motor; Virot died on the spot, and the motor cyclist on the way to the hospital. It was the only accident that Wagner ever had in his career.McGann McGann 2006 225–227 Before stage 18, the French team had the first three places in the general classification with Anquetil, Forestier and Mahé.http://memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1957_17.php Mémoire du cyclisme 44ème Tour de France 1957 - 17ème étape fr https://web.archive.org/web/20120302205905/http://memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1957_17.php 2 March 2012 26 September 2016 dead In stage 18, the last mountain stage, Anquetil was in good shape, and he attacked early on. But in the food zone he missed his food bag, and some time later he was out of energy. Several cyclists passed him, but later in the stage Anquetil got help and finished only two and a half minutes after the winner Nencini.McGann McGann 2006 225–227 Marcel Janssens and Adolf Christian were in the leading group, while Forestier and Mahé lost considerable time, so Janssens and Christian took the podium places.Amels 1984 79–80 Anquetil was still leading, and nobody doubted that he would win the race, especially because there was still an individual time trial coming up, Anquetil's specialty. And indeed, Anquetil won that time trial with a margin of more than two minutes.Amels 1984 79–80 Classification leadership and minor prizes The time that each cyclist required to finish each stage was recorded, and these times were added together for the general classification. If a cyclist had received a time bonus, it was subtracted from this total; all time penalties were added to this total. The cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey.Nauright Parrish 2012 452–453 Of the 120 cyclists that started the 1957 Tour de France, 56 finished the race. The points classification in 1957 was calculated in the same way as since the introduction in 1953, following the calculation method from the Tours de France from 1905 to 1912. Points were given according to the ranking of the stage: the winner received one point, the next cyclist two points, and so on. These points were added, and the cyclist with the fewest points was the leader of the points classification. In 1957, this was won by Jean Forestier with 301 points. Over 22 stages (including two split stages), this meant that his average stage finish was approximately place 14. Points for the mountains classification were earned by reaching the mountain tops first.Nauright Parrish 2012 454 The system was almost the same as in 1956: there were three types of mountain tops: the hardest ones, in category 1, gave 10 points to the first cyclist, the easier ones, in category 2, gave 6 points to the first cyclist, and the easiest ones, in category 3, gave 3 points. Gastone Nencini won this classification. The team classification was calculated as the sum of the daily team classifications, and the daily team classification was calculated by adding the times in the stage result of the best three cyclists per team.Nauright Parrish 2012 455 It was won by the French team, with a large margin over the Italian team. The Luxembourg/Mixed team finished with only one cyclist, so they were not included in the team classification. In addition, there was a combativity award given after each stage to the cyclist considered most combative. The split stages each had a combined winner. The decision was made by a jury composed of journalists who gave points. The cyclist with the most points from votes in all stages led the combativity classification.van den Akker 2018 211–216Nicolas Barone won this classification, and was given overall the super-combativity award.Augendre 2016 48 The Souvenir Henri Desgrange was given in honour of Tour founder Henri Desgrange to the first rider to pass a point by his final residence, the "Villa Mia" in Beauvallon, Grimaud, on the French Riviera on stage 12. This prize was won by Jean Stablinski.Jean Stablinsky liep veertien minuten weg Jean Stablinsky walked away for fourteen minutes https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:010370219:mpeg21:p004 De
