The 1927 Tour de France was the 21st Tour de France, taking place June 19 to July 17, 1927. It consisted of 24 stages over 5340 km, ridden at an average speed of 27.224 km/h.
This tour featured the first win by Nicolas Frantz, a cyclist from Luxembourg. Frantz had come in second in the previous tour, and went on to win the tour in 1928 as well. It also showcased the debuts of André Leducq (4th) and Antonin Magne (6th), two French riders who would succeed to the maillot jaune in coming years.
Because Tour director Henri Desgrange was dissatisfied with the long flat stages in the previous years, the individual team start format was introduced, similar to the later team time trial. In this concept, used in stages 1, 9, 14, 18 and 23, teams left fifteen minutes after each other, and all cyclists in a team were given the same time. The concept did not make the race more interesting, so after the 1929 Tour de France, it was removed again.
