There are 88 participants out of 88 in my database.
Additionally, 17 riders were registered but did not start.
Results per country
The "StProb" column indicates the probability that a country with this many riders would win the same number of stages, assuming each participating rider had an equal chance of winning a stage. A probability of 0.50 indicates that the country won exactly as expected, a probability close to 0 indicates that the country won fewer stages than expected, and a probability close to 1 indicates that the country won more stages than expected.
The "GCProb" and "Lexico" columns indicate how well the country performed in the overall ranking. For both, a higher number is better; GCProb ranges from minus infinity to plus infinity, with an average of 0; Lexico ranges from 0 to 1, with an average of 0.5.
| Country | Riders | Stages won | StProb | GCProb | Lexico |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| France | 69 | 11 | 0.68 | -2.89 | 0.00 |
| Belgium | 12 | 0 | 0.07 | -0.72 | 0.10 |
| Switzerland | 4 | 1 | 0.72 | -1.08 | 0.00 |
| Italy | 2 | 0 | 0.37 | -0.76 | 0.00 |
| United Kingdom | 1 | 0 | 0.43 | -0.53 | 0.00 |
Solos
From reports of the stages of this Tour, I have calculated the length of the solo rides. A solo is when a rider is riding in front of the race, without any other riders. Time trials don't count for this. There is sometimes uncertainty about when a solo started or ended: the dark green bar indicates the solo length that I am certain of, the light green bar indicates the maximum that it could be.

| A. Fauré | 0.0–96.0 km | |
| L. Pothier | 0.0–48.0 km | |
| M. Garin | 0.0–43.0 km | |
