Teams List of teams and cyclists in the 1967 Tour de France The previous years, the Tour had been contested by trade teams. Tour director Félix Lévitan held the team sponsors responsible for the riders' strike in the 1966 Tour de France, and therefore the formula was changed, and the national teams returned.McGann McGann 2008 24–32 The Tour started with 130 cyclists, divided into 13 teams of 10 cyclists.The history of the Tour de France – Year 1967 – The starters http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1967/partants.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 2 April 2020 6 August 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200806181021/http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1967/partants.html dead The introduction of national teams had been seen as a gamble; the trade teams could have decided to keep their riders away from the Tour, and make the Giro d'Italia the main race.https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:010538814:mpeg21:a0172 Belangrijk jaar voor wielersport Important year for cycling sport Dutch 4 January 1967 Limburgsch Dagblad After many negotiations, this did not happen.

On the advice of his teammate Jean Stablinski, Roger Pingeon bridged the gap and joined the escaped group. The group stayed away, and Pingeon escaped 60 km before the finish, riding alone until the end of the stage. Pingeon won the stage, and also became the leader of the general classification.McGann McGann 2008 24–32 Pingeon's lead was not challenged in the sixth stage, but he lost it in the seventh stage to his teammate Raymond Riotte, after Riotte was in a group that escaped. In the eighth stage, Riotte lost considerable time, and Pingeon was back in the lead. On that stage, Raymond Riotte lost more than 11 minutes, also because of a fall and mechanical problems, and announced that he would ride the rest of the Tour in support of Pingeon.McGann McGann 2008 24–32 Pingeon gained a few seconds in the ninth stage after a split in the peloton. In the tenth stage, Poulidor helped Pingeon over the major climbs, and after that stage Pingeon had a margin of more than four minutes over the next rider, Désiré Letort from the Bleuets team.McGann McGann 2008 24–32 The eleventh stage was won by 21-year old José Samyn; he is the youngest post-WW2 stage winner in the Tour de France as of 2024.van den Akker 2023 48-49 There were few changes in the general classification in the next two stages. The thirteenth stage was run in hot weather, and featured high climbs. During the climb of the Ventoux, Tom Simpson died. Unaware of what happened behind them, Jan Janssen won the stage, closely followed by Roger Pingeon, who extended his lead.McGann McGann 2008 24–32 The riders in the peloton decided to ride the fourteenth stage in dedication of Tom Simpson, and let his teammate Barry Hoban win the stage.McGann McGann 2008 24–32 In the sixteenth stage in the Pyrenees, Julio Jiménez won back a few minutes, and was now in second place behind Pingeon, 123 seconds behind. In the twentieth stage, with a finish on top of the Puy-de-Dôme, Jiménez won back some more time, and was now 1 minute and 39 seconds behind Pingeon. This was not enough to put Pingeon's victory in danger; the Tour ended with an individual time trial, and Pingeon rode it much better than Jiménez, and won the Tour de France of 1967.McGann McGann 2008 24–32 Classification leadership and minor prizes thumb|right|Jan Janssen, winner of the thirteenth stage and the points classification of the 1967 Tour de France. There were several classifications in the 1967 Tour de France, two of them awarding jerseys to their leaders.Nauright Parrish 2012 452–455 The most important was the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. The cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey; the winner of this classification is considered the winner of the Tour.Nauright Parrish 2012 452–453 The 1967 Tour de France gave small time bonuses for winners of flat stages, but not for mountain stages.van den Akker 2023 53 Additionally, there was a points classification. In the points classification, cyclists got points for finishing among the best in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and was identified with a green jersey.Nauright Parrish 2012 453–454 There was also a mountains classification. The organisation had categorised some climbs as either first, second, third, or fourth-category; points for this classification were won by the first cyclists that reached the top of these climbs first, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, but was not identified with a jersey.Nauright Parrish 2012 454 The intermediate sprints classification, introduced in 1966, was used again in 1967. Every stage had one intermediate sprint, and the first three riders at each sprint scored points. The intermediate sprints did not give a time bonus for the general classification, nor points for the points classification. There was no special jersey for the leader of this classification.van den Akker 2023 174-175 For the team classification, the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added; the leading team was the team with the lowest total time. The riders in the team that led this classification wore yellow caps.Nauright Parrish 2012 455 In addition, there was a combativity award, in which a jury composed of journalists gave points after each stage to the cyclist they considered most combative. The split stages each had a combined winner.van den Akker 2018 211–216 At the conclusion of the Tour, Désiré Letort won the overall super-combativity award, also decided by journalistsAugendre 2016 by a jury.Augendre 2016 58http://krantenarchief.concentra.be/vw/article.do?code=GVA&date=19670724&id=GVA-19670724-01013018 Strijdlust Combativity nl 24 July 1967 Gazet van Antwerpen 13 https://web.archive.org/web/20180706075205/http://krantenarchief.concentra.be/vw/article.do?code=GVA&date=19670724&id=GVA-19670724-01013018 6 July 2018 live 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 10.

No positive tests were reported.van den Akker 2023 86 Aftermath From 1904 to 1967, the Tour de France had always finished in the Parc des Princes. Soon after the finish of the 1967 Tour de France, a renovation of the Parc des Princes was started, which would take several years. This made it unavailable for the Tour de France in 1968, and the Tour de France finish moved to the Vélodrome de Vincennes, and would never return to the Parc des Princes.van den Akker 2023 10 The introduction of the prologue was considered successful, and was repeated in the next years.van den Akker 2023 43 To make sprints safer, a rule had been introduced in 1967 to give riders that crashed in the last 500 meters of a stage the same time as the other riders. This rule has been maintained, and the 'safe distance' has increased first to 1000 meters and then to 3000 meters.van den Akker 2023 57 Up to 1966, the time limit had been fixed; in 1967 it depended on the average speed of the winner of the stage. It has remained like this ever since.
