The Tour de France Roll of Honor: the winners from 1903 to 2023. Vincenzo Nibali was the last Italian to triumph

In the early years it was a French-only affair, though François Faber (Luxembourgish) broke this streak in 1909.

It was not raced from 1915 until 1919, obviously due to the First World War. Lambot restarted the car and in 1924 the first Italian victory came with the success of Ottavio Bottecchia which he then repeated the following year.

The French began to win again in the 1930s, but in 1938 the first victory came Gino Bartali.

Another interruption due to the Second World War, then it will start again in 1947. Gino Bartali he returned to win in ’48 (ten years later), then it was the turn of Fausto Coppi which he repeated in 1952.

In the ’60s came the triumphs of Gastone Nencini And Felice Gimondibut watch out for ’69: it is the year of the first triumph of Eddy Merckx.

For Merckx it will be four consecutive Tours de France, with Ocaña “stealing” his fifth in a row. Not bad, the Cannibal it was done again in 1974.

In the 80s there was the great challenge between Hinault And Fignonbut watch out LeMond: the first American to revolutionize the way of racing in the Tour.

LeMond even scored a double in 1990, then the excessive power of Miguel Indurain which won 5 consecutive editions. In 1998, the triumph that we hold most in our hearts: that of Marco Pantani which also comes from the victory of the Giro d’Italia a month earlier.

*awarded at the end of the race

Since 2006 we have been trying to return to normality after canceling the 7 previous editions that had been won by Armstrong. Even the 2006 one, however, was awarded after the race was over: with the success of Óscar Pereiro Sio who took the place in the roll of honor from Floy Landis who tested positive. Then the double success of Alberto Contador and that of Schleck (revoked from Contador although the case could be reopened).

Since 2012, Team Sky has dominated, starting from the success of Bradley Wiggins. Then the 4 Tours won by Chris Froomethe flicker of Geraint Thomas and finally the victory of the Colombian Egan Bernal. The only Tour not won by the British was that of Vincenzo Nibali which defeated the competition in 2014.

In 2020 there was a very particular post-lockdown edition and the winner was the very young one Tadej Pogacar who managed to snatch the yellow jersey from Roglic in the last time trial of La Planche des Belles Filles. The Slovenian also won in 2021, but from 2022 the era of Jonas Vingegaard with two consecutive dominant victories.
