Tour de France winners

Every rider to have won the Tour de France, or finished second and third overall since 1903

The Tour de France, for many, is the pinnacle of the cycling season – three weeks of gripping racing from pro cycling’s elite in the summer.

With two British winners, Sir Bradley Wiggins in 2012 and Chris Froome in 2013, 2015 and 2016, it is a race which has caught the imagination of the British public, a trend which looks set to continue.

The 2016 edition was the 103rd time the Tour de France has rolled out, with Vincenzo Nibali having become the 60th man – if you discount those since disqualified – to have won the maillot jaune when he was victorious in 2014.

With Lance Armstrong’s seven victories stripped from the record, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil and Miguel Indurain – with five wins apiece – are the race’s most successful riders.
