The 1967 Tour de France was the 54th Tour de France, taking place June 29 to July 23, 1967. It consisted of 22 stages over 4780 km, ridden at 35.018 km/h.[1] Thirteen national teams of ten riders competed, with three French teams, two Belgian, two Italian, two Spanish, one each from Germany, United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and a Swiss/Luxembourgian team.
The Tour was marred by the fatal collapse of Tom Simpson on the slopes of Mont Ventoux.[2]
Changes from the 1966 Tour de France
This tour was the first to have a prologue, a short individual time-trial prior to stage racing.[2]
The previous years, the Tour had been contested by trade teams, but in 1967, the national teams returned.[2]

The 1967 Tour started with 130 cyclists, divided into 13 teams of 10 cyclists.[2] Eight teams were pure national teams:
- France
- Germany
- Belgium
- Spain
- Great Britain
- Italy
- Netherlands
- Switzerland/Luxembourg (combined)
And five teams were additional national teams:
- Red devils (young Belgian cyclists)
- Esperanza (young Spanish cyclists)
- Primavera (young Italian cyclists)
- Bleuets de France (young French cyclists)
- Coqs de France (young French cyclists)

Results
There were several classifications in the 1967 Tour de France, two of them awarding jerseys to their leaders. The most important was the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. The cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey; the winner of this classification is considered the winner of the Tour.[5]
Additionally, there was a points classification. In the points classification, cyclists got points for finishing among the best in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and was identified with a green jersey.[5]
There was also a mountains classification. The organisation had categorized some climbs as either first, second, third, or fourth-category; points for this classification were won by the first cyclists that reached the top of these climbs first, with more points available for the higher-categorized climbs. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, but was not identified with a jersey.[5]
For the team classification, the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added; the leading team was the team with the lowest total time. The riders in the team that lead this classification wore yellow caps.[6]

Doping cases
After Simpson's death, there were accusations of doping use. The organisation decided to increase the doping controls, not only in the Tour but also in the simultaneously run Tour de l'Avenir.[8] The Tour de France gave no positive tests, but several riders from the Tour de l'Avenir were disqualified.[9]
