The 1965 Tour de France was memorable for a number of reasons. In his first year as a professional, Felice Gimondi, a substitute replacement on the Salvarani team, captures the overall title ahead of Raymond Poulidor, last year's second-place finisher. The 52nd edition of the Grand Boucle was counter-clockwise (Pyrenees first) and consisted of 22 stages and with an average speed of 35.886 km/h (22.3 mph). Gimondi would go on to become one of only six riders, the others being Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali and five-time Tour winners Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx and Bernard Hinault to have won all three of the major Tours. Besides Gimondi's first tour and win, it was a first for other reasons: the 1965 Tour started in Cologne, Germany (the first time the Tour started in Germany,〔 and only the third time it started outside France), and it was the first time the start ramp was used in time trials. ==Participants== The 1965 Tour started with 130 cyclists, divided into 13 teams of 10 cyclists:〔 The Molteni-Ignis team was a combined team, with 5 cyclists from Molteni and 5 from Ignis. Jacques Anquetil, who won the previous four Tours de France (1961–1964), did not participate in this tour; this made Raymond Poulidor, who became second in the previous Tour, the main favourite. 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「1965 Tour de France」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
