The 1925 Tour de France was the 19th edition and was held from June 21 to July 19, 1925 over 5430 kilometers in 18 stages. Italian cyclist Ottavio Bottecchia successfully defended his 1924 victory to win his second consecutive Tour de France. Only 49 of the 130 participants finished the course. ==Changes from the 1924 Tour de France== In 1919 to 1924, the sponsored teams had been away because of the economic impact of World War I. In 1925, the teams returned.〔 For the first time, the Tour de France started outside Paris, in le Vésinet.〔 The number of stages increased from 15, which had been used since 1910, to 18, thereby decreasing the average stage length. The time bonus, given to the winner of a stage, was removed.〔 After Henri Pélissier had created a controversy by quitting the 1924 Tour de France and complaining on the toughness of the race to a journalist, the Tour organisation made a new rule that said that any rider that harmed the Tour's image would be banned for the next years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1925 Tour de France」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
