The longest tour in history,[1] the route traced closely the borders of France. It was the first time that the race started outside Paris;[1] in this way riders were forced to climb the mountains in the east of the country twice, once at the beginning of the race, and again at the end.[2] The race was won by Belgian cyclist Lucien Buysse.
