It consisted of 22 stages over 4476 km 0 on. The race was won by Louison Bobet, the first of his three consecutive wins. At first, internal struggles in the French national team seemed to work against Bobet, but when the team joined forces, he beat regional rider Jean Malléjac in the mountains. The 1953 Tour de France saw the introduction of the points classification, which gives the green jersey to its leader. In 1953 this was won by Fritz Schär. Innovations and changes Changes in the Tour formula were made: Only one time trial was used, instead of two the previous year; the time bonus for the first cyclist to cross a mountain top was removed; there were fewer mountain stages; the number of cyclists per team was increased from 8 to 10. Since all these changes were bad for 1952's winner Fausto Coppi, who had gained significant time in 1952 in the time trials and mountain stages, the Tour organisation was accused of favoring French riders.http://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:011202607:mpeg21:a0164 Nieuwe formule Tour de France overtuigend bewijs van chauvinisme 13 December 1952 De Tijd Delpher 21 February 2015 nl Teams List of teams and cyclists in the 1953 Tour de France As was the custom since the 1930 Tour de France, the 1953 Tour de France was contested by national and regional teams. Seven national teams were sent, with 10 cyclists each from Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and France. France additionally sent five regional teams from 10 cyclists each, divided into Île-de-France, Center-North East France, South-East, West and South West. One Luxembourgian cyclist did not start, so 119 cyclists started the race.The history of the Tour de France – Year 1953 – The starters http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1953/partants.html Tour de France Amaury Sport Organisation 2 April 2020 3 April 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20200403084047/http://histo.letour.fr/HISTO/us/TDF/1953/partants.html dead The teams entering the race were: 20em Italy Switzerland Belgium Spain Luxembourg Netherlands France Île-de-France North-East/Centre South-East West South-West Pre-race favourites The winner of the previous edition, Coppi, did not defend his title.

When team manager Marcel Bidot had selected Bobet as the French team captain, controversy arose. Bobet had shown his potential strength, but had already tried to win the Tour de France five times without succeeding. His team-mate Raphaël Géminiani thought that Bobet was not strong enough, after he did not finish the 1953 Giro d'Italia earlier that year.

The favourites remained calm. After the fourth stage, French Roger Hassenforder took the lead, but he soon lost it when the mountains appeared.Amels 1984 68–70 Hassenforder was ill, and could not follow in the mountains,McGann McGann 2006 198–206 so Schär took the lead back in the ninth stage. In the next stage, Hugo Koblet, the leader of the Swiss team, fell and had to give up, making Schär the undisputed leader of the Swiss team.Amels 1984 68–70 Jean Robic, the winner of the 1947 Tour de France, rode for the regional team from West. He was in great shape, and won the 11th stage, and even took the leading position in the general classification. In the next stage, Robic rode in the yellow jersey for the first and only time in his career. Robic had won the 1947 Tour de France, but only captured the lead in the ultimate stage, so he never wore the yellow jersey during that race. Robic was a good climber, but he was not heavy enough to be a good descender. It is said that the manager of his team had arranged bidons filled with lead, that would be given to Robic on the top of the mountains. This helped Robic to keep his lead on the descent.McGann McGann 2006 198–206 Robic lost the yellow jersey in the next stage, after he crashed and the French national team attacked. A large group of twenty five cyclists, without any of the favourites, had escaped and stayed away.Amels 1984 68–70 Robic's team did not lose the jersey however, as first François Mahé took over the lead. In the next stage, the favourites attacked again. Mahé could not keep up, and lost his leading position to his team-mate Jean Malléjac.http://www.letour.fr/HISTO/fr/TDF/1953/histoire.html L'Historique du Tour: Année 1953 Amaury Sport Organisation 7 December 2009 fr https://web.archive.org/web/20090720093842/http://www.letour.fr/HISTO/fr/TDF/1953/histoire.html 20 July 2009 dead dmy-all The sprint was won by Nello Lauredi from the French national team, before his team-mate Bobet. Bobet was angry that Lauredi had won the sprint, because it made Bobet miss the one-minute time bonus for the winner of the stage. Bobet accused Lauredi and Géminiani of working against him, and during dinner it came to a fight. The French team captain intervened, and they found a solution: Bobet agreed to give his prize money to his team-mates, if they helped him win the Tour.McGann McGann 2006 198–206 thumb|upright|Louison Bobet (pictured in 1951), winner of the general classification In that stage, Robic had fallen down, and lost many minutes, so he was no longer considered able to win the Tour.Amels 1984 68–70 He did not start the fourteenth stage. At that point, Bobet was 3 minutes 13 seconds behind Malléjac. In the eighteenth stage in the alps, Bobet followed Jesús Loroño who attacked on the Col de Vars. Bobet dropped him on the descend, and went alone to the Col d'Izoard. There was a group of early attackers ahead, including Bobet's team-mate Deledda. Deledda waited for Bobet, and helped him to reach the Izoard. Bobet could save his energy, and when they reached the Izoard, he left Deledda behind. The tactics had worked, and Bobet won more than 12 minutes on Malléjac and took the yellow jersey. He extended his lead by winning the time trial in stage 20, thereby showing that he was not only a good climber but also a fine time trialist. At that point, the Dutch team was leading the team classification, and the Dutch and French team started to work together to keep their leading positions in the general and team classification.Amels 1984 68–70 For the finish in Paris, eleven former Tour de France winners were present: Maurice Garin (who won the 1903 edition), Gustave Garrigou (1911), Philippe Thys (1913, 1914 and 1920), Lucien Buysse (1926), André Leducq (1930 and 1932), Antonin Magne (1931 and 1934), Georges Speicher (1933), Romain Maes (1935), Sylvère Maes (1936 and 1939), Roger Lapébie (1937) and Ferdinand Kübler (1950). Classification leadership and minor prizes 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 119 cyclists that started the 1953 Tour de France, 76 finished the race. The results showed that the pre-war greats were no longer dominant: all cyclists in the top ten had turned professional after the Second World War.McGann McGann 2006 190–194 The prize for best regional cyclist was won by second-placed Malléjac. Fifty years after the first Tour de France, the 1953 Tour featured the introduction of the green jersey, for the leader in the points classification (usually seen as the "best sprinter's" jersey), at that time called the fr Grand Prix Cinquentennaire.McGann McGann 2006 198–206 The classification was based on the points system as it had been used from the 1905 Tour de France to the 1912 Tour de France. The points classification was not only added to celebrate the 50 years since the first race, but also to have the sprinters race hard for the entire race.http://www.cyclingrevealed.com/timeline/Race%20Snippets/TdF/TdF1953.htm Bobet is Brilliant, as French Team Squabbles Barry Boyce Cycling revealed 2004 7 December 2009 The calculation method came 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 1953, this was won by Fritz Schär. 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 1952: 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. Jesús Loroño won this classification. The calculation of the team classification was changed from the calculation in 1952. In 1953, it 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 Dutch team, with a small margin over the French team. South West did not finish with three cyclists so was not eligible for the team classification. The 1952 Tour had seen the introduction of combativity awards, in which a jury composed of journalists gave points after most stages to the cyclist they considered most combative. In 1953, this system was kept, with the addition of a classification that was led by the rider with the most points from votes in all stages, and an overall super-combativity award.van den Akker 2018 211–216 This was won by Wout Wagtmans.Augendre 2016 44 The Souvenir Henri Desgrange was given in honour of Tour founder Henri Desgrange to the first rider to pass a point by his final residence, the "Villa Mia" in Beauvallon, Grimaud, on the French Riviera on stage 16. This prize was won by Claude Colette.Opwindend eine van een rustige etappe Exciting end of a quiet stage https://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:011202275:mpeg21:p005 De Tijd 20 July 1953 5 nl
