2003 Tour de France
Encyclopedia
The 2003 Tour de France started and ended in Paris
. Lasting from July 5 to July 27 the race covered 3,427.5 km (2129.75 mi), proceeding clockwise in twenty stages around France, including six major mountain stages. Due to the centennial celebration, this edition of the tour was raced entirely in France and did not enter neighboring countries.
In the centenary year of the race the route recreated, in part, that of 1903. There was a special Centenaire Classement prize for the best-placed in each of the six stage finishes which match the 1903 tour - Lyon
, Marseille
, Toulouse
, Bordeaux
, Nantes
and Paris
. It was won by Stuart O'Grady
, with Thor Hushovd
in second place. The 2003 Tour was honored with the Prince of Asturias Award
for Sport.
Of the 198 riders the favorite was again Lance Armstrong
, aiming for a record equalling fifth win. Before the race, it was believed that his main rivals would include Iban Mayo
, Aitor González
, Tyler Hamilton
, Ivan Basso
, Gilberto Simoni
, Jan Ullrich
, and Joseba Beloki
but Armstrong was odds-on favorite. Though he did go on to win the race, it is statistically, and by Armstrong's own admission, his weakest Tour from his seven-year period of dominance over the race.
The Tour proved to be one more hotly contested than the previous years, but in the end it was indeed Armstrong who won. Tyler Hamilton and Levi Leipheimer
were involved in a crash early in the Tour. Leipheimer dropped out, Hamilton continued and got fourth place in the end while riding with a broken collarbone.
In the Alps, Gilberto Simoni and Stefano Garzelli
, first and second in the Giro d'Italia
earlier the same year, could not keep up with Lance Armstrong and the other favorites. The same held for last year's number 4, Santiago Botero
. Joseba Beloki
could, and was in second-place overall (just 40 seconds behind Armstrong) when he crashed on a fast descent. The crash was a result of a locked brake, caused by a lack of traction from melting tar on the road, which led to the tyre coming off the rim. Beloki broke his right femur, elbow and wrist, and had to leave the Tour. Armstrong made a detour through the field beside the road to avoid the fallen Beloki. Armstrong was in yellow, but Jan Ullrich won the first time trial by one minute and 36 seconds. He and Alexander Vinokourov
were both within very short distance from Armstrong.
Armstrong did however withstand the attacks in the end, and took his fifth Tour de France in row, thereby equalling the record of Jacques Anquetil
, Eddy Merckx
, Bernard Hinault
and Miguel Indurain
. Before him, only Indurain had won in five consecutive years. Lance Armstrong had never won a tour by less than six minutes before 2003.
