The 1960 Tour de France was the 47th Tour de France, taking place June 26 to July 17, 1960. The total race distance was 21 stages over 4,173 km, at an average speed of 37.21 km/h.

In 1960, it looked like young Riviére was all set to win. He broke the world hour record and at Stage 15 he looked like he’d win. Then, at the Perjuret Pass he crashed into a ravine and never rode a bicycle again. Gastone Nencini, from Italy, won.
