[1] Italian Ottavio Bottecchia successfully defended his 1924 victory to win his second consecutive Tour.

[5] The participants were divided into two groups: 39 cyclists were riding in sponsored teams, and 91 rode as touriste-routiers.

[4] In the fourth stage, Henri Pélissier, the winner of the 1923 Tour de France, left the race.

In previous years, Pélissier had left the race after a fight with tour organiser Henri Desgrange, but this time it was because of knee problems.

[4] In the twelfth stage, Bottecchia and Buysse failed to sign in at a control post, and were fined with 10 minutes penalty time.

Nicolas Frantz, Albert Dejonghe and Hector Martin followed him, but Aimo missed that move, and lost five minutes.

[4] The race for touriste-routiers, cyclists who did not belong to a team and were allowed no assistance, was won by Despontin.

[15] The organing newspaper, l'Auto named a meilleur grimpeur (best climber), an unofficial precursor to the modern King of the Mountains competition.

When he was training in 1927, he was found bleeding at the side of the road close to his house, and he died some hours later.

[4] During the race, Bottecchia had promised Lucien Buysse half his earnings, because he needed help.
