About This Dataset
Most Tour de France Victories (All Time)
Cyclists ranked by total Tour de France stage race victories. Lance Armstrong's seven consecutive Tour de France victories from 1999 to 2005 were stripped following doping admissions in 2013, leaving Chris Froome, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Jacques Anquetil, and Miguel Indurain tied on five wins each as the most legitimate record holders — though the history of the race remains inseparable from the pharmacological controversies of the 1990s and 2000s.
Analysis
Eddy Merckx (Belgium), Bernard Hinault (France), Jacques Anquetil (France) and Miguel Indurain (Spain) are level at the top on 5 Tour de France Wins. Chris Froome (UK) follows on 4. None of them dominates the field: each holds 15.2% of the combined total of all 8. Outside the joint leaders the field is tightly packed: the remaining 4 run from 4 down to 3 Tour de France Wins.
