The first ever le Tour de France was in July 1st to July 19 1903 with only six participants.Won by Maurice Garin, France in 94h 33' 14".Most of the cyclists were french (probably because it wasn't very well known back then) and first, second and third all went to french cyclists.It has occurred every year since then, except during the two world wars.The first race was 1903, but Geo Lefevre first thought of organising it the year before. It was won by Maurice-Francois Garin.
