The 1962 Tour de France was the 49th edition of the Tour de France, one of cycling's Grand Tours. The three-week 4,274-kilometre (2,656 mi) race of 22 stages, including two split stages, started in Nancy on 24 June and finished at the Parc des Princes in Paris on 15 July. [1]
From 1930 to 1961, the Tour de France was contested by national teams, but in 1962 commercially sponsored international trade teams returned. [2] [a] From the late-1950s to 1962, the Tour had seen the absence of top riders who had bowed to pressure from their teams' extra-sportif (non-cycling industry) sponsors to ride other races that better suited their brands. [4] [5] This, and a demand for wider advertising from a declining bicycle industry, led to the reintroduction of the trade team format. [6] [7] In early February 1962, 22 teams submitted applications for the race, [8] with the final list of 15 announced at the end of the month. The Spanish-based Kas was the first choice reserve team. [9]
Each of the 15 teams consisted of 10 cyclists (150 total), [10] [11] an increase from the 1961 Tour, which had 11 teams of 12 cyclists (132 total). [12] Each team was required to have a dominant nationality; at least six cyclists should have the same nationality, or only two nationalities should be present. [13] [14] For the first time, French cyclists were outnumbered; the largest number of riders from a nation came from Italy (52), with the next largest coming from France (50) and Belgium (28). Riders represented a further six nations, all European. [11] Of the start list of 150, [b] 66 were riding the Tour de France for the first time. [17] The total number of riders that finished the race was 94, [18] a record high to that point. [19] The average age of riders in the race was 27.5 years, [20] ranging from the 21-year-old Tiziano Galvanin ( Legnano–Pirelli) to the 40-year-old Pino Cerami ( Peugeot–BP–Dunlop). [21] [22] The Legnano–Pirelli cyclists had the youngest average age while Margnat–Paloma–D'Alessandro cyclists had the oldest. [20] The presentation of the teams – where the members of each team's roster are introduced in front of the media and local dignitaries – took place outside the Place de la Carrière in Nancy before the start of the opening stage held in the city. [23]
Rudi Altig of Saint-Raphaël–Helyett–Hutchinson was the first rider to wear the general classification's yellow jersey after winning the first stage. [23] Altig lost it the following day to André Darrigade of Gitane–Leroux–Dunlop–R. Geminiani, who won stage 2a, before regaining it after winning stage three. [24] The race lead was taken by Altig's teammate Albertus Geldermans after stage six. [24] He held it for two stages, before Darrigade took it back for the next two. [24] Flandria–Faema–Clément rider Willy Schroeders then led the race from the end of stage nine to the end of eleven, [24] at which point Schroeder's teammate Rik Van Looy, a major pre-race favourite, [25] abandoned the race with an injury. [26] The following day, British rider Tom Simpson of Gitane–Leroux became the first from outside mainland Europe to wear the yellow jersey. [27] [28] He lost it after stage thirteen's individual time trial in the Pyrenees to Flandria's Jef Planckaert, who then held it for seven stages, which included the Alps. [24] Jacques Anquetil of Saint-Raphaël won the individual time trial of stage twenty to put himself into the yellow jersey, which he held until the conclusion of the race; [24] he defended his title, winning his third Tour de France. [29] Planckaert finished second in the general classification, 4 min and 59 s in arrears, with Mercier–BP–Hutchinson rider Raymond Poulidor third, over ten minutes behind Anquetil. Altig won the points classification and Margnat's Federico Bahamontes won the mountains classification. [18] Saint-Raphaël won the team classification. [30] The overall awards for most combative and unluckiest were given to Eddy Pauwels of Wiel's–Groene Leeuw and Van Looy respectively. [31] [32] Altig and Philco's Emile Daems won the most stages, with three each. [33]
