It consisted of 22 stages over 4773 km 0 on. Gino Bartali, captain of the Italian team, threatened and assaulted on the Col d'Aspin by some French supporters accusing him to have caused Jean Robic's fall, retired after winning the 12th stage from Pau to Saint-Gaudens and left the race together with all the other Italian riders (including Fiorenzo Magni, who was wearing the yellow jersey).Augendre 2016 41 The lead transferred to Swiss cyclist Ferdinand Kübler, who was able to keep the lead until the end of the race. Kübler became the first Swiss winner of the Tour de France. The mountains classification was won by Louison Bobet, while the Belgian team won the team classification. Algerian-French cyclist Abdel-Kader Zaaf became famous in this Tour de France by being so disoriented that he rode in the wrong direction. Innovations and changes The "interest" for the yellow jersey (the prize money for the leader of the general classification after each stage) was increased to 100.000 French Francs.Augendre 2016 41 In 1949, the French TV had reported every evening about the Tour de France, and in 1950, live coverage of every stage was given.Thompson, p.46 The time cut-offs, the maximum time a cyclist was allowed to finish a stage, was reduced. In the previous years, the Tour de France had been decided in the mountains. The organisation wanted the other aspects of the race to be more important, so some mountains were not visited in 1950, and the time bonification for cyclists that reached mountain tops first was reduced. from 1 minute in 1949 to 40 seconds in 1950.http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD02/HEM/1950/07/14/MD19500714-001.pdf La XXXVII Vuelta a Francia es 14 July 1950 Mundo Deportivo 1 https://web.archive.org/web/20120731200306/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD02/HEM/1950/07/14/MD19500714-001.pdf 31 July 2012 live The riders had sometimes been helped by team assistants who directly assisted the riders by pushing them from within the team cars, under the pretence of supplying them with a drink.

The three major cycling countries in 1950, Italy, Belgium and France, each sent a team of 10 cyclists. Other countries sent teams of 6 cyclists: Switzerland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Italy and Belgium also sent two extra teams of young riders of 6 cyclists each. The French regional cyclists were divided into five teams of 10 cyclists: Paris, Île-de-France/North-East, West, Centre/South-West and South-East. Originally, the plan was to have one extra international team of six cyclists with Spanish cyclists,http://www.archiefleeuwardercourant.nl/site/article.do?code=LC&date=19491216&id=LC-19491216-3005 De Tour de France in 1950 Leeuwarder Courant 13 July 1950 3 December 2009 nl but this extra team became a North African team, with Moroccan and Algerian cyclists; at the time, portions of Morocco were a French protectorate, and Algeria was an integral part of France.

Bartali got up and won the stage, but felt threatened by spectators, who punched and kicked him. One spectator had threatened Bartali with a knife. Bartali told his team manager Alfredo Binda that he was leaving the Tour de France, and that all Italian cyclists should abandon the race.McGann McGann 2006 165–173 Not all Italian cyclists wanted to leave: the members from the second Italian team (the Italian Cadets) and Adolfo Leoni wanted to stay.

Out of respect for Magni, Kübler did not wear the yellow jersey (indicating the leader in the general classification) in the 12th stage. In the twelfth stage, all the favourites finished together. That stage was won by Belgian Maurice Blomme, but not without difficulties: he was so exhausted that he mistook a dark shadow for the finish line, and stopped racing. The secretary of the Tour de France, Jean Garnault, had to put him back on his bicycle so he would ride the last meters of the stage.http://www.archiefleeuwardercourant.nl/site/article.do?code=LC&date=19500727&id=LC-19500727-5003 Belg Blomme won 12e etappe nl Leeuwarder Courant 27 July 1950 3 December 2009 In that stage thirteen, the temperature was extremely high. Two riders from the North African team, Marcel Molinès and Abdel-Kader Zaaf, broke away after 15 kilometers, and created a large gap, also because the other cyclists were more occupied with getting drinks.http://www.cyclingwebsite.net/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=6621 Abdel-Kader Zaaf Tom Vandenbussche nl Cyclingwebsite 3 December 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20081011141905/http://www.cyclingwebsite.net/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=6621 11 October 2008 dead Some 20 kilometers from the finish, Zaaf started to zigzag across the road. A safety official pulled him from the race, afraid for his safety, and Molinès rode through alone. Zaaf did not agree with the safety official, and mounted his bicycle again. He quickly fell off his bicycle and fell asleep, and spectators moved him into the shade of a tree. When he woke up, he realised that he was in a race, got on his bicycle again and rode away, but going into the wrong direction. An ambulance was called, and Zaaf was taken away. Zaaf claimed that he had received wine from a spectator, and as a Muslim he was not used to the alcohol.McGann McGann 2006 165–173 Behind the two North-African cyclists, Kübler had attacked, and left his rivals Raphaël Géminiani and Louison Bobet minutes behind. Of the favourites, only Ockers managed to stay with Kübler. In stage fifteen, it was still hot, and the riders were not motivated to race. They stopped during the race to cool down in the Mediterranean Sea, but were quickly ordered by Jacques Goddet to continue the race.McGann McGann 2006 165–173 The journalists that followed the race reported on this in a humorous way, and the organisation therefore fined them.Thompson, p.217 In the sixteenth stage, Ockers and Bobet finished shortly after Kübler. The Tour de France jury said Bobet came in second, and gave him the 30 seconds bonification time, but the Belgian team manager Sylvère Maes protested against this decision, because he argued that Ockers came in second. Maes threatened to take the Belgian team out of the race, but the Tour direction did not change their decision. In the end, the Belgian team stayed in the race.http://www.archiefleeuwardercourant.nl/site/article.do?code=LC&date=19500801&id=LC-19500801-2008 Dreigement van Sylver Maes Leeuwarder Courant 1 August 1950 3 December 2009 nl Second placed rider in the general classification, Ockers was unable to win back time in later stages, so Kübler stayed in the lead for the rest of the race, and became the first Swiss winner of the Tour de France. Kübler's victory is seen as partially his own accomplishment, but also partially due to the absence of Fausto Coppi and the withdrawal of the Italian teams.Whittle 2003 113 According to Kübler, it became more difficult to win the race after the Italians had left the race, because the attention was no longer focussed on the Italians, but on Kübler. Kübler felt that he would have been able to win the 1950 Tour de France if the Italians would have not abandoned, because he was the best in the time trials.http://bikeraceinfo.com/oralhistory/kubler.html Ferdy Kübler, 1950 Tour Winner, Answers Some Questions Bike Race Info 23 September 2004 3 December 2009 Classification leadership and minor prizes thumb|The team classification trophy for 1950, won by the Belgium team 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 The total prize money in the 1950 Tour de France was 14 million French Francs; 1 million French Francs were for the winner of the general classification.Augendre 2016 41 Of the 116 cyclists that started the 1950 Tour de France, 51 finished the race. Points for the mountains classification were earned by reaching the mountain tops first.Nauright Parrish 2012 454 The system was the same as in 1949: there were two types of mountain tops: the hardest ones, in category 1, gave 10 points to the first cyclist, the easier ones, in category 2, gave 5 points to the first cyclist, and the easiest ones, in category 3, gave 3 points. Louison Bobet won this classification after having led the classification almost the entire race, although he only reached 2 of the 14 mountain tops first. The team classification was calculated by adding the times in the general classification of the best three cyclists per team.Nauright Parrish 2012 455 It was won by the Belgian team, with a large margin over the French team. Of the other four teams that started, the two Italian teams had abandoned the race, and the North African team finished with only two riders and the Dutch team with only one rider, therefore they were ineligible for the team classification.

many criteriums, until he left two years later to Algeria. Kübler did not enter the next three Tours de France, but when he returned in 1954, he finished in second place, and won the green jersey for the points classification.
