Tour de France Winners List

Many great champion riders are winners of the Tour de France in its 100+ year history. There are currently 4 riders with 5 Tour de France victories: Miguel Indurain, Bernard Hinault, Eddy Merckx and Jacques Anquetil. Chris Froome is still an active rider and on 4 victories, but it looks unlikely now that he will join the 5-Wins club. Honorary mentions go to Greg Lemond, Louison Bobet and Philippe Thys with 3 victories each.

France naturally has the highest amount of victories with 36. Although it’s of note that their last victory was in 1985 and the wait is very much ongoing. Belgium has 18 victories and Spain 12 wins. Belgium are another country with a long wait, their last victory was in 1976 courtesy of Lucien van Impe. Slovenia and Colombia are the newest countries to join the list after Tadej Pogačar’s victory in 2020 and Egan Bernal’s victory in 2019. All 6 of the UK’s victories have happened in the last 10 years.

Asterisks

Asterisks are there to note that another rider originally was declared the winner of that year’s Tour de France.

1904
Maurice Garin was disqualified after catching a train to complete some of the race. Henri Cornet was declared winner instead.

1999-2005
The infamous Lance Armstrong had his titles stripped in 2012 due to doping. Due to the climate at the time, where doping was rife, the Tour de France chose not to replace Armstrong with another victor.

2006
Floyd Landis initially finished first but after the race was completed it was found that Landis had tested positive in a sample given near the end of the race. He was stripped of the victory and 2nd placed Oscar Pereiro won instead.

2010
Alberto Contador won the 2010 Tour de France but was stripped of the title after testing positive for minute traces of clenbuterol. Despite length legal battles, Contador was removed as winner in 2012.
