In Italy, new "extra-sportives" sponsors had entered the market, non-cycling combinations promoted by Fiorenzo Magni with his "Nivea-Fuchs". The novelty provoked a protest from French cyclists, who therefore did not take part in the Giro.http://www.giannibertoli.it/S058.htm La fuga-bidone e lo sciopero del Bernina Bertoli Gianni 5 February 2007 29 May 2024 it The fuga-bidone and the Bernina strike In response to the rudeness, the Italian Cycling Federation decided not to send a team to the Tour.McGann McGann 2006 198–206Amels 1984 71–72 In May, the Italian Federation head Adriano Rodoni announced Italian riders would not participate in the Tour.http://doc.rero.ch/record/130828/files/1954-05-21.pdf Les Italiens ne participeront pas officiellement au Tour de France Italians will not officially participate in the Tour de France fr Le Confédéré 21 May 1954 2 https://web.archive.org/web/20191025003642/http://doc.rero.ch/record/130828/files/1954-05-21.pdf 25 October 2019 live RERO The teams entering the race were: 20em France Netherlands Belgium Spain Switzerland Luxembourg/Austria North-East/Centre West South-East Île-de-France South-West Route and stages The 1954 Tour de France was the first time that the Tour had started outside France, as it started in Amsterdam.Augendre 2016 45 Also new was the team time trial. Although around 1930 the Tour had seen stages in which the teams started separately, in 1954 the team time trial format was reintroduced in a way that only the team time counted. Also the split stages were reintroduced. Stage 4 was divided into two parts: the team time trial of 10.4 km (part A), and a regular stage of 131 km (part B), both run on the same day. Similarly, stage 21 was divided into a regular stage of 134 km (part A) and an individual time trial of 72 km (part B), also both run on the same day. There were two rest days, in Bordeaux and Lyon.Augendre 2016 45 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 19.Augendre 2016 177–178De Ronde van Frankrijk 1954 The Tour de France 1954 https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:010951945:mpeg21:p007 Het Vrije Volk 8 July 1954 7 nl Delpher + Stage characteristics and winnershttp://memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1954.php Mémoire du cyclisme 41ème Tour de France 1954 fr https://web.archive.org/web/20120301040311/http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1954.php 1 March 2012 26 September 2016 deadAugendre 2016 45http://www.cvccbike.com/tour/top_ten.html#1954 Tour de France GC top ten Arian Zwegers CVCC 10 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 1954 – The stage winners http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1954/vainqueurs.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 2 April 2020 3 April 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200403002836/http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1954/vainqueurs.html dead Stage Date Course Distance Type Winner 1 8 July Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Brasschaat (Belgium) 216 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Wout Wagtmans NED 2 9 July Beveren (Belgium) to Lille 255 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Louison Bobet FRA 3 10 July Lille to Rouen 219 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Marcel Dussault FRA 4a11 July Rouen to Circuit des Essarts 10.4 km 0 on 20px|link=Team time trial Team time trialSUI Switzerland 4b Rouen to Caen 131 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Wim van Est NED 5 12 July Caen to Saint-Brieuc 224 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Ferdinand Kübler SUI 6 13 July Saint-Brieuc to Brest 179 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Dominique Forlini FRA 7 14 July Brest to Vannes 211 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Jacques Vivier FRA 8 15 July Vannes to Angers 190 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Fred De Bruyne BEL 9 16 July Angers to Bordeaux 343 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Henk Faanhof NED 17 July Bordeaux Rest day 10 18 July Bordeaux to Bayonne 202 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Gilbert Bauvin FRA 11 19 July Bayonne to Pau 241 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Stan Ockers BEL 12 20 July Pau to Luchon 161 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Gilbert Bauvin FRA 13 21 July Luchon to Toulouse 203 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Fred De Bruyne BEL 14 22 July Toulouse to Millau 225 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Ferdinand Kübler SUI 15 23 July Millau to Le Puy 197 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Dominique Forlini FRA 16 24 July Le Puy to Lyon 194 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Jean Forestier FRA 25 July Lyon Rest day 17 26 July Lyon to Grenoble 182 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Lucien Lazaridès FRA 18 27 July Grenoble to Briançon 216 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Louison Bobet FRA 19 28 July Briançon to Aix-les-Bains 221 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Jean Dotto FRA 20 29 July Aix les Bains to Besançon 243 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Stage with mountain(s) Lucien Teisseire FRA 21a30 July Besançon to Épinal 134 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage François Mahé FRA 21b Epinal to Nancy 72 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Individual time trial Louison Bobet FRA 22 31 July Nancy to Troyes 216 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Fred De Bruyne BEL 23 1 August Troyes to Paris 180 km 0 on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Robert Varnajo FRA Total 4656 km 0 onAugendre 2016 109 "notes" Race overview thumb|Dutch news reel about the 1954 Tour de France In the first stage, Wout Wagtmans won the sprint, and took the yellow jersey.

They were riding as fast as they could, and the leading group was getting smaller. Bauvin also could not keep up with that group, partly because he had a flat tire, and finished 8 minutes behind, losing the leading position. Bobet however could keep up with the Swiss pace,McGann McGann 2006 198–206 and took over the yellow jersey as leader of the general classification. In the sixteenth stage, Bauvin lost another 20 minutes, and dropped to sixth place.McGann McGann 2006 198–206 The Swiss cyclists had attacked Bobet where they could, but were unable to gain time on him. They had moved into second and third place of the general classification. In the eighteenth stage, Bobet dominated, and dropped all of the other contenders. He won by a margin of one minute and 49 seconds, and his margin in the general classification was 12 minutes 49 seconds, which would normally be large enough for the victory. Bobet also won the individual time trial, and thereby increased his margin even more.Amels 1984 71–72 The Swiss cyclists could not attack Bobet anymore in the last stages, so Bobet won his second Tour de France. The Swiss team had performed well though, capturing the second and third place in the general classification, winning the team classification and having Kübler win the points classification. Classification leadership and minor prizes right|thumb|upright|alt=Black-and-white image of a man in a shirt with a cross.|Ferdinand Kübler won the points classification in the 1954 Tour de France. 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 110 cyclists that started the 1954 Tour de France, 69 finished the race. The points classification was calculated in the same way as 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 1954, this was won by Ferdinand Kübler. 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 1953: 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 6 points to the first cyclist, and the easiest ones, in category 3, gave 3 points. Federico Bahamontes 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 Swiss team.Augendre 2016 45 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. At the end of the Tour de France, Lucien Lazaridès and François Mahé were leading this classification with equal points and shared the overall super-combativity award.van den Akker 2018 211–216 The Souvenir Henri Desgrange was given to the first rider to pass the memorial to Tour founder Henri Desgrange near the summit of the Col du Galibier on stage 19.
