The Countries Dominating the Tour de France

The 2023 Tour de France stopped rolling yesterday, with Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard once again taking the prestigious lion on the Champs Elysees. At 26, Vingegaard, who also won last year, has given Denmark its third Tour victory.

As this infographic shows, French participants are the cyclists to have won the Tour de France the most times since its inception in 1903, with 36 overall victories. It is worth mentioning that, naturally, most of the participants were French during the first years of the competition.

Belgium, with 18 final victories occupies the second position in the ranking. Spain and Italy are the only other countries to register wins in the double figures. When it comes to individual cyclists, four are tied on the most general classification wins: two of which are French, one Spanish and one Belgian.
