Tour de France during World War II
The Tour de France was not held during World War II because the organisers refused German requests. Although a 1940 Tour de France had been announced earlier, the outbreak of the war made it impossible for it to be held. After that, some attempts were made by the Germans during the war to have a Tour de France to maintain the sense of normality, but ''l'Auto'', the organising newspaper, refused. Some other races were run as a replacement.
After World War II, ''l'Auto'' was closed for collaborating with the Germans. The rights to organise the Tour went to the French government. As two newspapers were interested in these rights, they each organised a small Tour of five stages, and the race run by ''L'Équipe'' was considered the most successful, therefore ''L'Équipe'' could organise the 1947 Tour de France.
==History==
Already before the war, the political situation in Europe had its influence on the Tour de France. Political reasons caused Italy, Germany and Spain to refuse to send teams to France for the 1939 Tour de France.〔McGann, p. 144〕 The 1938 Tour de France winner, Gino Bartali, was among those affected. Henri Desgrange, the original race organizer, and Jacques Goddet, his deputy and replacement,〔Desgrange died on 16 August 1940 having abandoned his race the previous year while suffering the effects of an operation.〕 announced plans for a Tour de France in August 1940.〔McGann, p. 149〕
