1903
the 1920 tour de france had been dominated by belgian cyclists, who won twelve of the fifteen stages, and the top seven of the overall classification. the french cyclists henri and francis pélissier had left the 1920 tour de france after henri received a penalty from the tour organisation for throwing away a tire, and they were still fighting. therefore, the pélissier brothers did not join the 1921 tour de france. two veteran cyclists who did join the race were ernest paul and lucien pothier, both forty years old. paul rode his first tour de france in 1908, while pothier had started in the first tour de france in 1903, and finished second.
