The 1931 Tour de France was the 25th Tour de France, which took place from 30 June to 26 July 1931. It consisted of 24 stages over 5,091 km, ridden at an average speed of 28.735 km/h. The race was won by French cyclist Antonin Magne. The sprinters Charles Pélissier and Rafaele di Paco both managed to win five stages.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Tour - year 1931 )〕 The cyclists were separated into national teams and ''touriste-routiers'', who were grouped into regional teams. In some stages (2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 12), the national teams started 10 minutes before the touriste-routiers.〔 One of these ''touriste-routiers'' was Max Bulla. In the second stage, when the ''touriste-routiers'' started 10 minutes later than the national teams, Bulla overtook the national teams, won the stage and took the lead, the only time in history that a ''touriste-routier'' was leading the Tour de France.〔 ==Participants== For the second year, the race was run in the national team format, with six different teams. Belgium, Italy, Germany and France each sent a team with eight cyclists. Australia and Switzerland sent a combined team, each with four cyclists. The last team was the Spanish team, with only one cyclist. In addition, 40 cyclists joined as ''touriste-routiers''.〔 The French team was favourite, because they had dominated the 1930 Tour. The most competition was expected from the Belgian team, followed by the Italian team.〔 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「1931 Tour de France」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
