RARE poster of the TOUR DE FRANCE
The Tour de France 1910, 8th edition of the Tour de France, took place from July 3 to July 31, 1910 over 15 stages for 4,737 km.
The Tour explores the high mountains in the Pyrenees and the Alps with in particular the ascent during the 9th stage. In total, the Tour de France 1910 route crosses eleven passes. Octave Lapize is particularly brilliant on mountain roads. Having dismounted to cross the summit of the Aubisque, he would have shouted to the organizers "You are assassins!" "
The duel between François Faber and Octave Lapize, both teammates in the Alcyon team, keeps the public in suspense until the last stage. Finally, Lapize won with 63 points, against 67 for Faber.
The general classification is always made by points and not by time. Note that in time, Lapize has 52 minutes ahead of Faber in Paris. Its final average is 28.680 km / h;
