It consisted of 21 stages over 4822 km 0 on. The 24th tour de France introduced a new format to team racing; teams were organised by country with ten riders per team. This format proved to be a very successful format for the French riders, six of which placed in the top ten. André Leducq was the star of the French team, winning the overall classification; however, Charles Pélissier, who finished ninth overall achieved a stunning eight stage wins.http://www.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1930/histoire.html The Tour - Year 1930 Amaury Sport Organisation 30 September 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20090716154747/http://www.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1930/histoire.html 16 July 2009 dead dmy-all 1930 was the first year of the publicity caravan.http://www.letour.fr/2008/TDF/COURSE/us/histoire_home.html Le Tour (official site), History, 1930 27 July 2008 https://web.archive.org/web/20080615022439/http://www.letour.fr/2008/TDF/COURSE/us/histoire_home.html 15 June 2008 dead dmy-all Innovations and changes Tour director Henri Desgrange had tried many things to remove the team tactics from the Tour de France, because he wanted the race to be won on individual strength. In 1929, he had removed the sponsors, but this had had no effect; the Alcyon team members still cooperated and managed to let Maurice Dewaele win the race, even though he was sick. For 1930, Desgrange replaced the trade teams by national teams. He gave up on the idea that he could keep team tactics away from the Tour, but decided that he could still try to keep commercial team tactics away.http://www.veloarchive.com/races/tour/1930.php 1930: The coming of national teams Tom James 15 August 2003 29 September 2009 The race started with five national teams of eight cyclists each, completed by 60 touriste-routiers. All cyclists raced on identical, yellow-coloured bicycles.McGann McGann 2006 94–100 The trade teams did not like the national teams, because they lost the publicity during the most important race of the season, while they still had to pay for the riders' salary. The trade teams used to supply food, transport and lodging for the cyclists during the race, but now the Tour organisation had to pay for all this. To pay for this, the publicity caravan was started.McGann McGann 2006 94–100 In 1930, only three companies were in that publicity caravan, but it has grown since.McGann McGann 2006 94–100 The most popular sponsor in the publicity was Menier chocolates, whose advertising manager had advised the Tour organisation to start the publicity caravan; 500.000 fans came to the Tour de France stages early to receive chocolate handouts.https://www.cyclingrevealed.com/timeline/Race%20Snippets/TdF/TdF1930.htm Cycling revealed Barry Boyce 2004 New ideas! Bold Initiatives! 30 September 2009 In 1929, all cyclists had to do their own repairs, and had to finish with their bicycle they started with. This had caused Victor Fontan to quit the race while he was leading. In 1930, this rule was abandoned, and from now on, cyclists could get help when they had mechanical problems.McGann McGann 2006 94–100 From 1927 to 1929, some stages were run in the team-time-trial format. This was completely abandoned in 1930.McGann McGann 2006 94–100 The first live radio broadcast from the Tour de France happened in 1930. Two extra prizes were given in 1930, donated by the Soors brothers from Grand Sport. The cyclist who led the general classification, and therefore wore the yellow jersey, received the Maillot d'or (French for golden jersey), which was 1000 francs for every stage. The best touriste-routier in the general classification received the Maillot d'argent (French for silver jersey), which was 500 francs per stage. Despite the name, there was no silver jersey worn by the best touriste-routier.http://www.cyclismag.com/article.php?sid=1223 Le mystère du maillot argent résolu 5 July 2005 18 July 2013 fr Cyclismag Sandrine Viollet Turgis, Dominique https://web.archive.org/web/20110708215419/http://www.cyclismag.com/article.php?sid=1223 8 July 2011 dead Teams List of teams and cyclists in the 1930 Tour de France For the first time, the Tour was run with national teams. Belgium, Italy, Spain, Germany and France each sent a team composed of eight cyclists. Additionally, 60 cyclists started as touriste-routiers, most of them French. Some of them were grouped in regional teams.The history of the Tour de France – Year 1930 – The starters http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1930/partants.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 2 April 2020 One of the notable cyclists was Alfredo Binda, riding in the Italian national team. He had dominated the Giro d'Italia in the recent years, winning the 1925, 1927, 1928 and 1929 editions; in 1929 he had done so by winning eight consecutive stages. For the 1930 Giro d'Italia, he was paid money not to compete, so he started in the Tour de France that year.McGann McGann 2006 94–100 The French team was captained by Victor Fontan, who had been leading the 1929 Tour de France until he had to abandon the race due to mechanical problems. The Belgian team had Jef Demuysere as the favourite.http://www.wielercentrum.com/tourdefrance/achtergronden%5Ctourverhalen%5C1930--Andr%C3%A9-Leducq-wint-de-eerste-Tour-voor-landenploegen-512.html 1930: André Leducq wint de eerste Tour voor landenploegen Tourdefrance.nl nl 19 March 2003 30 September 2009 https://web.archive.org/web/20121016215117/http://www.wielercentrum.com/tourdefrance/achtergronden/tourverhalen/1930--Andr%C3%A9-Leducq-wint-de-eerste-Tour-voor-landenploegen-512.html 16 October 2012 usurped Route and stages 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 16.Augendre 2016 177–178Cinq équipes nationales de huit coureurs et soixante touristes routies commenceront, demain mercredi, le 24e Tour de France Five national teams of eight riders and sixty touring tourists will start the 24th Tour de France tomorrow Wednesday https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k9796262n/f2.item Le Miroir des sports 1 July 1930 2 fr Gallicae Charles Pélissier won four stages in a row.

In the first stage, Charles Pélissier won, and he became leader of the race, the third of the Pélissier brothers to do so.McGann McGann 2006 94–100 In the first stages, before the Pyrenees, the sprinters were battling for stage victories. The Italian Learco Guerra dominated the race. For the general classification, no big things happened, except for the fall of Alfredo Binda in the seventh stage, which caused him to lose one hour, and abandon his hopes for the Tour victory.McGann McGann 2006 94–100 Binda won the eighth and ninth stage, before he dropped out in the tenth stage. In the ninth stage, touriste-routier Benoît Fauré led the race over the first mountains, and dropped many cyclists. In the end, he was dropped by Binda, Leducq, Pierre Magne and Antonin Magne. In the sixteenth stage, going down from the Galibier, the leader of the race André Leducq fell down. He lost consciousness, and when he woke up, Pierre Magne put him back on his bicycle, and his French teammates helped him to get back. Learco Guerra, second placed in the general classification with a margin of more than 16 minutes, saw an opportunity and was away as fast as he could, together with Jef Demuysere. Just before the climb of the Col du Télégraphe, Leducq's pedal broke. His teammate Marcel Bidot got a pedal from a spectator's bicycle. Leducq thought of abandoning the race, but he was convinced by his teammates to get back on his bicycle. They had 60 km to go, and managed to get back to Guerra. In the end, Leducq even managed to win the sprint.McGann McGann 2006 94–100 With no more mountain stages to come, Leducq had secured his victory. Charles Pélissier made the victory of the French team even more glorious, as he won the last four stages. Classification leadership and minor prizes In all stages, all cyclists started together. The cyclist to reach the finish first was the winner of the stage. The time that each cyclist required to finish the stage was recorded. For the general classification, these times were added together; the cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey. The touriste-routiers had been divided into regional teams, for which a separate team classification was made. The South-East team became the winner of this classification. For touriste-routiers, cyclists that were not part of national teams, there were additional awards. The best-placed touriste-routier received a prize, but was not identified by a jersey. Some of the touriste-routiers were assigned to a regional team. A regional team classification was also made, according to the same rules as the national team classification. The organing newspaper, l'Auto named a meilleur grimpeur (best climber), an unofficial precursor to the modern King of the Mountains competition. This award was won by Benoît Fauré.http://www.tour-giro-vuelta.net Tour-giro-vuelta 29 September 2009 Michiel van Lonkhuyzen For the first time, there was a team competition. The team classification was calculated in 1930 by adding up the times in the general classification of the three highest ranking cyclists per national team; the national team with the least time was the winner. The team competition for national teams was won by the French team. +Classification leadership by stagevan den Akker Pieter Informatie over de Tour de France van 1930 Information about the Tour de France from 1930 http://www.tourdefrancestatistieken.nl/tour.php?jaar=1930 https://web.archive.org/web/20190304022401/http://www.tourdefrancestatistieken.nl/tour.php?jaar=1930 4 March 2019 nl TourDeFranceStatistieken.nl 4 March 2019 live Stage Winner General classification Best touriste-routier National classification Regional classification 1 Charles Pélissier Charles Pélissier Several cyclistswith the same time France North-France 2 Learco Guerra Learco Guerra Italy 3 Charles Pélissier 4 Omer Taverne France 5 André Leducq 6 Jean Aerts 7 Jules Merviel Jean Gouleme South-East France 8 Alfredo Binda 9 Alfredo Binda André Leducq Benoît Faure 10 Charles Pélissier 11 Charles Pélissier 12 Antonin Magne 13 Learco Guerra 14 Louis Peglion 15 Learco Guerra 16 André Leducq 17 Frans Bonduel 18 Charles Pélissier 19 Charles Pélissier 20 Charles Pélissier 21 Charles Pélissier Final André Leducq Benoît Faure France South-East France Final standings General classification + Final general classification (1–10)The history of the Tour de France – Year 1930 – Stage 21 Malo > Paris http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1930/2100/etape.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 2 April 2020 2 April 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200402220055/http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1930/2100/etape.html dead Rank Rider Team Time1 André Leducq FRA France 172h 12' 16"2 Learco Guerra ITA 1861Italy + 14' 13"3 Antonin Magne FRA France + 16' 03"4 Jef Demuysere BEL Belgium + 21' 34"5 Marcel Bidot FRA France + 41' 18"6 Pierre Magne FRA France + 45' 42"7 Frans Bonduel BEL Belgium + 56' 19"8 Benoît Faure FRA Touriste-routier (South-East) + 58' 34"9 Charles Pélissier FRA France + 1h 04' 37"10 Adolf Schön GER Weimar Germany + 1h 21' 39" Final general classification (11–59) Rank Rider Team Time 11 Louis Delannoy BELBelgium + 1h 27' 23" 12 Aimé Dossche BELBelgium + 1h 28' 14" 13 Oskar Thierbach GER Weimar Germany + 1h 35' 34" 14 Louis Peglion FRATouriste-routier (Provence) + 1h 44' 14" 15 Jan Mertens BELBelgium + 1h 49' 24" 16 Salvador Cardona ESP 1785Spain + 1h 59' 43" 17 Valeriano Riera ESP 1785Spain + 2h 23' 09" 18 Marcel Mazeyrat FRATouriste-routier (South-East) + 2h 25' 23" 19 Georges Laloup BELBelgium + 2h 31' 37" 20 Giuseppe Pancera ITA 1861Italy + 2h 33' 51" 21 Jules Merviel FRAFrance + 2h 43' 42" 22 Felix Manthey GER Weimar Germany + 3h 10' 37" 23 Georges Berton FRATouriste-routier (Champagne) + 3h 17' 11" 24 Vicente Trueba ESP 1785Spain + 3h 17' 19" 25 François Moreels FRATouriste-routier (Île-de-France) + 3h 20' 30" 26 Jean Goulême FRATouriste-routier (Midi) + 3h 36' 31" 27 Francisco Cepeda ESP 1785Spain + 3h 54' 47" 28 François Ondet FRATouriste-routier + 4h 06' 40" 29 Louis Bajard FRATouriste-Routier (South-East) + 4h 09' 09" 30 Omer Taverne BELBelgium + 4h 23' 52" 31 Marco Giuntelli ITA 1861 Italy + 4h 41' 30" 32 Auguste Encrine FRATouriste-routier (Côte d'Azur) + 4h 52' 34" 33 Alfred Siegel GER Weimar Germany + 4h 54' 30" 34 Juan Mateu ESP 1785Spain + 5h 11' 15" 35 Lucien Laval FRATouriste-routier + 5h 41' 42" 36 Jose Trueba ESP 1785Spain + 6h 27' 47" 37 Henri Touzard FRATouriste-routier (Normandy) + 6h 44' 43" 38 Pierre Jouel FRATouriste-routier + 6h 51' 13" 39 Adrien Plautin FRATouriste-routier (Midi) + 6h 56' 34" 40 Léopold Boisselle FRATouriste-routier + 7h 09' 57" 41 Fernand Robache FRATouriste-routier + 7h 48' 03" 42 Henri Gottrand FRATouriste-routier (Île-de-France) + 7h 58' 58" 43 Amand Goubert FRATouriste-routier (North) + 8h 10' 55" 44 Paul Delbart FRATouriste-routier (Champagne) + 8h 11' 14" 45 Jean Martinet SUITouriste-routier + 8h 23' 55" 46 Henri Prévost FRATouriste-routier + 8h 23' 58" 47 Marcel Tissier FRATouriste-routier + 8h 54' 53" 48 Battista Berardi ITA 1861Touriste-routier (Côte d'Azur) + 9h 10' 33" 49 Guy Bariffi SUITouriste-routier (Champagne) + 9h 19' 38" 50 Lucien Lange FRATouriste-routier (Alsace-Lorraine) + 10h 20' 54" 51 Marcel Masson FRATouriste-routier (Normandy) + 10h 21' 04" 52 Édouard Teisseire FRATouriste-routier (Provence) + 10h 23' 24" 53 Jean Ampurias FRATouriste-routier (Côte d'Azur) + 10h 40' 49" 54 Charles Cottalorda FRATouriste-routier (Côte d'Azur) + 11h 49' 29" 55 Paulin Lanteri FRATouriste-routier + 11h 55' 24" 56 Émile Faillu FRATouriste-routier (Île-de-France) + 12h 57' 35" 57 Georges Petit FRATouriste-routier + 14h 14' 14" 58 Pierre Bobo FRATouriste-routier (Midi) + 14h 37' 15" 59 Marcel Ilpide FRATouriste-routier (Midi) + 15h 10' 18" Team classification + Final team classification http://hemeroteca.elmundodeportivo.es/preview/1930/07/28/pagina-1/1397122/pdf.html El Mundo Deportive es 28 July 1930 En la general por Andres Léducq por equipos, Francia triunfa ¡¡por fin!!
