As a major international sporting event, the Tour de France welcomes cyclists from around the world. Although French cyclists have won this competition more than cyclists from any other nation, other countries, mostly European, are now also strongly represented in rankings. Since the creation of the competition, the number of participating cyclists has increased and even tripled in some years. In 1986, the 73rd edition of the Tour de France attracted the largest number of competitors, with 210 cyclists on the starting line. However, even if the entrants are numerous, they do not all cross the finish line. The year 1919 was a special one, as only about ten riders managed to finish this race, which was won by the Belgian cyclist Firmin Lambot.
