The verdict was subsequently confirmed by the UCI. The first stages were held in the département of the Vendée, for the third time in 12 years. The 2005 Tour was announced on 28 October 2004. It was a clockwise route, visiting the Alps before the Pyrenees. Armstrong took the top step on the podium, for what was then the seventh consecutive time.

The Tour de France organisation was not happy with this rule, as they wanted to be able to decide which teams would join their race. While negotiations were still ongoing, it was decided to use the UCI rule for the 2005 Tour, so all 20 ProTour teams were automatically invited. The Tour organisation could invite one extra team with a wildcard, and used this to invite A2R 2005.https://books.google.com/books?id=V8mlwItBhhcC&pg=PA53 305–316 The Story of the Tour de France: 1965-2007 Bill McGann McGann, Carol Dog Ear Publishing 2008 978-1-59858-608-4 All teams were composed of nine cyclists, so 189 riders in 21 teams commenced the 2005 Tour de France.Tour de France 2005 – Riders list http://www.letour.fr/2005/TDF/LIVE/us/2100/coureurs.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 4 April 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20050727011642/http://www.letour.fr/2005/TDF/LIVE/us/2100/coureurs.html 27 July 2005 dead dmy-all Of them, 155 riders finished.

His main rival Ullrich was happy with this decision, as he thought it would be a better race with Armstrong present. In previous years, Ullrich never had the full support of his team to win the general classification, as his team was also aiming for stage victories. In 2005, Erik Zabel, who had won the points classification six times, was left out of the team, and Ullrich was supported by Klöden and Vinokourov, who both had already reached the podium on the Tour. On the day before the Tour started, Ullrich crashed into his team director's car, but was not seriously injured. Route and stages The Tour commemorated the death of Fabio Casartelli. During the 15th stage the riders passed the Col de Portet d'Aspet, where Casartelli died exactly 10 years earlier, in the 1995 Tour de France. The Tour also commemorated the first time there was an official mountain climb in the Tour, the Ballon d'Alsace.http://www.letour.fr/2005/presentationus/parcours.html The route Amaury Sport Organisation 2005 7 October 2009 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20091001011631/http://www.letour.fr/2005/presentationus/parcours.html 1 October 2009 During the 9th stage this mountain was passed again, exactly 100 years after the first ascent in the Tour. The 2005 Tour de France was divided into 21 stages. These stages belong to different categories: 8 were flat stages, 5 were medium mountain stages, 5 were high mountain stages, 2 were individual time trials and 1 was a team time trial. The distinction between flat stage, medium mountain stage and high mountain stage is important for the points classification. The highest point of elevation in the race was 2642 m ft on at the summit of the Col du Galibier mountain pass on stage 11.92nd Tour de France – Mountain Stages http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2005/tour05/index.php?id=mountains 23 December 2019 Cyclingnews.com https://web.archive.org/web/20191219003854/http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2005/tour05/index.php%3Fid%3Dmountains 19 December 2019 live There were two rest days, in Grenoble and in Pau.Augendre 2016 96 The traditional prologue on the first day was replaced by an individual time trial of more than twice the length of a standard prologue.http://www.letour.fr/2005/presentationus/index.html Edito Amaury Sport Organisation Jean-Marie Leblanc 2005 7 October 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090720061121/http://www.letour.fr/2005/presentationus/index.html 20 July 2009 dead dmy-all This stage crossed from the mainland of France to the Île de Noirmoutier. The most famous route to this island is the Passage du Gois, a road that is under water at high tide. This road was included in the 1999 Tour. Several of the favourites crashed there that year, and ended that stage 7 minutes behind the peloton. This year they took the bridge to the island. Later in the race, there was one more time trial, on the penultimate day. Also, there were just three uphill finishes (Courchevel, Ax-3 Domaines and Pla d'Adet), a lower number than in previous years. The finish line of the last stage was, as has been since 1975, on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. In the stages that were not time trials, there were intermediate sprints. Cyclist who crossed the intermediate sprints first received points for the points classification, and bonification seconds for the general classification. Until stage 8, there were three intermediate sprints, and from stage 9 on there were two.http://www.letour.fr/2005/presentationus/enjeux.html The Stakes Amaury Sport Organisation 7 October 2009 2005 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20091001131833/http://www.letour.fr/2005/presentationus/enjeux.html 1 October 2009 + Stage characteristics and winnersTour de France 2005 – List of stages http://www.letour.fr/2005/TDF/LIVE/us/2100/r2_etapes_liste.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 4 April 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20050806010726/http://www.letour.fr/2005/TDF/LIVE/us/2100/r2_etapes_liste.html 6 August 2005 dead dmy-all92ème Tour de France 2005 92nd Tour de France 2005 http://memoire-du-cyclisme.eu/eta_tdf/tdf2005.php Mémoire du cyclisme 6 April 2020 fr 1 March 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190301010829/http://memoire-du-cyclisme.eu/eta_tdf/tdf2005.php deadThe history of the Tour de France – Year 2005 – The stage winners http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/2005/vainqueurs.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 6 April 2020 3 April 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200403012407/http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/2005/vainqueurs.html dead Stage Date Course Distance Type Winner 12 July Fromentine to Noirmoutier-en-l'Île 19.0 km on 20px|alt=|link= Individual time trial David Zabriskie USA 23 July Challans to Les Essarts 181.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Tom Boonen BEL 34 July La Châtaigneraie to Tours 212.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Tom Boonen BEL 45 July Tours to Blois 67.5 km on alt=|link=Team time trial|20px Team time trial DSC 2005 56 July Chambord to Montargis 183.0 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Robbie McEwen AUS 67 July Troyes to Nancy 199.0 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Lorenzo Bernucci ITA 78 July Lunéville to Karlsruhe (Germany) 228.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Robbie McEwen AUS 89 July Pforzheim (Germany) to Gérardmer 231.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Hilly stage Pieter Weening NED 910 July Gérardmer to Mulhouse 171.0 km on 20px|alt=|link= Hilly stage Michael Rasmussen DEN 11 July Grenoble Rest day 1012 July Grenoble to Courchevel 177.0 km on 20px|alt=|link= Mountain stage Alejandro Valverde ESP 1113 July Courchevel to Briançon 173.0 km on 20px|alt=|link= Mountain stage Alexander Vinokourov KAZ 1214 July Briançon to Digne-les-Bains 187.0 km on 20px|alt=|link= Hilly stage David Moncoutié FRA 1315 July Miramas to Montpellier 173.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Robbie McEwen AUS 1416 July Agde to Ax 3 Domaines 220.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Mountain stage Georg Totschnig AUT 1517 July Lézat-sur-Lèze to Saint-Lary-Soulan Pla d'Adet 205.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Mountain stage George Hincapie USA 18 July Pau Rest day 1619 July Mourenx to Pau 180.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Mountain stage Óscar Pereiro ESP 1720 July Pau to Revel 239.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Paolo Savoldelli ITA 1821 July Albi to Mende 189.0 km on 20px|alt=|link= Hilly stage Marcos Antonio Serrano ESP 1922 July Issoire to Le Puy-en-Velay 153.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Hilly stage Giuseppe Guerini ITA 2023 July Saint-Étienne to Saint-Étienne 55.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Individual time trial <s>Lance Armstrong</s> USAarmstrong 2124 July Corbeil-Essonnes to Paris (Champs-Élysées) 144.5 km on 20px|alt=|link= Plain stage Alexander Vinokourov KAZ Total 3593 km 0 onAugendre 2016 110 Race overview 2005 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 11 2005 Tour de France, Stage 12 to Stage 21 thumb|Lance Armstrong in the race leader's yellow jersery accompanied by his teammates of DSC 2005 In Stage 1, David Zabriskie, a former teammate of Lance Armstrong, beat Armstrong by two seconds.

The most important was the general classification, which was calculated by adding each rider's finishing times on each stage,Race regulations 2005 16 with time bonuses given at the end of each mass start stage.Race regulations 2005 18 If a crash had happened within the final 3 km 1 on of a stage, not including time trials and summit finishes, the riders involved would have received the same time as the group they were in when the crash occurred.Race regulations 2005 9–10 The rider with the lowest cumulative time was the winner of the general classification and was considered the overall winner of the Tour.Race regulations 2005 16 The rider leading the classification wore a yellow jersey.Race regulations 2005 5–6 The second classification was the points classification. Riders received points for finishing in the highest positions in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints during the stage. The points available for each stage finish were determined by the stage's type.Race regulations 2005 16 The leader was identified by a green jersey.Race regulations 2005 5–6 The third classification was the mountains classification. Most stages of the race included one or more categorised climbs, in which points were awarded to the riders that reached the summit first. The climbs were categorised as fourth-, third-, second- or first-category, or hors catégorie for the most difficult climbs.Race regulations 2005 17 The leader wore a white jersey with red polka dots.Race regulations 2005 5–6 The final individual classification was the young rider classification.
