It comprised 21 stages over 3607&nbsp;km, ridden at an average speed of 41.654&nbsp;km/h. The first stages were held in the [[département]] of the [[Vendée]], for the third time in 12 years. The 2005 Tour was announced on [[October 28]] [[2004]]. It was a clockwise route, visiting the [[Alps]] before the [[Pyrenees]]. The 2005 Tour saw [[Lance Armstrong]] make history by winning Le Tour for an unprecedented seventh time, all of which were won consecutively. ==Overview== [[Image:Tour de France 2005 - Mulhouse.jpg|210px|thumb|right|Commercial poster for the 2005 Tour.]] [[Image:Tour de France 2005.png|210px|thumb|right|Overview of the stages]] The traditional prologue on the first day was replaced by an [[individual time trial]] of more than twice the length of a standard prologue. This stage crossed from the mainland of France to the [[Île de Noirmoutier]]. The most famous route to this island is the [[Passage du Gois]], a road that is under water at high tide. This road was included in the [[1999 Tour de France|1999 Tour]]. Several of the favorites crashed there that year, and ended that stage 7 minutes behind the peloton. This year they took the bridge to the island. Later in the race, there was one more time trial, on the penultimate day. Also, there were just three uphill finishes ([[Courchevel]], [[Ax-3 Domaines]] and [[Pla d'Adet]]), a lower number than in previous years. The finish line of the last stage was, as has been since 1975, on the [[Champs-Élysées]] in [[Paris]]. The Tour commemorated the death of [[Fabio Casartelli]]. During the 15th stage the riders passed the [[Col du Portet d'Aspet]], where Casartelli died exactly 10 years earlier. The Tour also commemorated the first time there was an official mountain climb in the Tour, the [[Ballon d'Alsace]]. During the 9th stage this mountain was passed again, exactly 100 years after the first ascent in the Tour. The race jury invoked the 'rain rule'<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.letour.fr/2005/TDF/LIVE/us/2100/depeches.html |title=Tour de France 2005 Newsflashes |publisher=letour.fr }}</ref> for the Champs-Élysées, meaning that Lance Armstrong became the winner of the General classification the first time the race passed the finish line, rather than the eighth time as normal. ==Podium favorites== *[[Lance Armstrong]] / [[Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team|Discovery Channel]] *[[Ivan Basso]] / [[Team CSC Saxo Bank|Team CSC]] *[[Jan Ullrich]] / [[Team Colubmia|T-Mobile]] *[[Joseba Beloki]] / [[Liberty Seguros team|Liberty Seguros]] *[[Santiago Botero]] / [[Phonak (cycling)|Phonak]] *[[Stefano Garzelli]] / [[Liquigas|Liquigas-Bianchi]] *[[Roberto Heras]] / [[Liberty Seguros team|Liberty Seguros]] *[[Andreas Klöden]] / [[Team Columbia|T-Mobile]] *[[Floyd Landis]] / [[Phonak (cycling)|Phonak]] *[[Levi Leipheimer]] / [[Team Gerolsteiner]] *[[Francisco Mancebo]] / [[Caisse d'Epargne|Illes Balears-Caisse d'Epargne]] *[[Iban Mayo]] / [[Euskaltel-Euskadi]] *[[Denis Menchov]] / [[Rabobank (cycling)|Rabobank]] *[[Alexandre Vinokourov]] / [[Team Columbia|T-Mobile]] ==Stages== {| class="wikitable" !Stage !Route !Distance !Type !Date |- |align=right| [[2005 Tour de France, Stage 1 to Stage 11#Stage 1 .28July 2nd.29: Individual Time Trial: Fromentine -
