Tour de France Winner Groupsets [Year by Year, from 1937 to 2024]

Tour de France is the world’s most popular and prestigious bicycle race. Wining “the Tour” is a great victory for cyclists, as well as groupset producers. Here are the Tour de France Winner Groupsets, since 1937, year by year (also the average speeds of each year’s winner).

The derailleur system was introduced into the Tour de France in 1937, allowing riders to change gears without having to remove wheels. Previously, riders would have to dismount in order to change their wheel from downhill to uphill mode or vice versa. Derailleurs did not become common road racing equipment until 1938 when Simplex introduced a cable-shifted derailleur.

The name “gruppo” (groupset) first came with the Campagnolo Gran Sport in 1953, though. With it, rear & front derailleurs, hubs, and levers were for the first time sold as part of a unique system.

Why derailleurs have been introduced into the Tour de France so late?

Gear changing systems already existed before 1937. But, Tour de France organizer Henri Desgrange has had strict rules. Once he said that his ideal race would be so hard that only one rider would make it to Paris.

Desgrange was also a traditionalist with equipment. Until 1930 he demanded that riders mend their bicycles without help and that they use the same bicycle from start to end. Exchanging a damaged bicycle for another was allowed only in 1923. Desgrange stood against the use of multiple gears and for many years insisted riders use wooden rims, fearing the heat of braking while coming down mountains would melt the glue that held the tires on metal rims (they were finally allowed in 1937 after Desgrange retired from organizing the Tour de France).

“I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn’t it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailleur? We are getting soft. Come on, fellows. Let’s say that the test was a fine demonstration–for our grandparents! As for me, give me a fixed gear!” — Henri Desgrange

Roger Lapébie’s 1937 Tour de France victory was controversial as he was the first rider to complete the race using a modern derailleur. This gave him the advantage of shifting gears without having to stop, dismount, and flip the wheel as was customary of racing bicycles used at the time.

Unlike the Tour, the derailleurs were allowed in the Giro d’Italia. The great Italian rider, five-time Giro winner, and the first UCI World Champion, Alfredo Binda also used the Vittoria gear changer while winning his third UCI World Championship in Rome in 1932. From 1935 and on, Vittoria systems called Vittoria Margherita. They had a rod-controlled pusher on the chainstay that would move the chain while the rider backpedaled.

Notes

1. If we exclude the 1946 “Monaco-Paris”, Campagnolo has 42 Tour de France victories.
2. Camille Daudon was known at the time as the “couturier du cycle” (bicycle designer), but he produced very few bikes. He had just one worker in a small shop near the Champs Elysées, Paris, and only made bikes for a short period post-war to c.1952. Considered a huge craftsman in the construction of cycles, Camille Daudon bikes are rare.
3. Lance Armstrong has been stripped of his seven Tour de France victories. He was using the Shimano Dura-Ace groupset.
