CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'Miroir-Sprint - Tour de France 1955'

The 1955 Tour de France covered 4,320 km over 22 stages and saw a dramatic battle between France’s Louison Bobet and Belgium’s Jean Brankart. The race included stages in Switzerland and Belgium. Bobet, aiming for his third consecutive victory, faced fierce competition but showed his dominance in the mountains, particularly in the Pyrenees. His well-rounded performance, combining strong climbing and time-trial abilities, secured his third straight Tour victory, cementing his status as one of the era’s greatest riders. Brankart finished second, with Luxembourg’s Charly Gaul, a rising star in the mountains, taking third. Gaul also won the mountains classification, establishing himself as one of the sport’s premier climbers. The points classification went to Belgium’s Stan Ockers, who excelled in sprint finishes. This edition is remembered for Bobet’s hat-trick of victories, Gaul’s impressive climbing displays, and Ockers’ consistency in the sprints.
