Jacques Anquetil started the race with the intention of winning it and becoming the first cyclist to win all the three grand tours. However, injury forced him out of the race. His St. Raphael-Helyett team dominated the race, with the team taking the leaders jersey after the second stage of the race. Rudi Altig and Seamus Elliott both wore the jersey with Altig taking it off the shoulders of Elliott after winning the final individual time trial on the 15th stage. Altig became the first German winner of the event.

gollark: <@341618941317349376> It's not strictly necessary, but also not "bloat".
gollark: You need technical skill as well as and possibly partly replacing “human experience ".
gollark: Maybe that one artist is extremely good in some way and lots of people like him and all, but others might not for personal taste reasons.
