CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'Le Dessinateur Paul Ordner a reconstitué (pour vous) ce défilé (impressionnant ) du Tour de France'

The 1953 Tour de France covered 4,476 km over 22 stages and marked the 50th anniversary of the race. Frenchman Louison Bobet claimed his first Tour victory, displaying consistent strength throughout the race and excelling in both the mountains and time trials. Bobet's win was a breakthrough moment, launching him into the pantheon of Tour legends. French rider Jean Malléjac finished second, with Italian Giancarlo Astrua in third. Fritz Schär won the inaugural points classification, wearing the newly introduced green jersey. This edition is remembered for Bobet’s emergence as a dominant force and for the introduction of the green jersey, adding a new layer of competition to the Tour.
