1910. TDF Octave Lapize

OCTAVE LAPIZE, winner of the 1910 Tour de France, at his arrival in Paris.

This was the Tour's first time in the high mountains with two stages in the Pyrenees (Tourmalet, Aubisque).

Points were used to calculate the General Classification.

 

François Faber led for much of the Tour, but a dog-caused crash in stage 7 left him too injured to resist teammate Octave Lapize.
