The Tour de France was not held during World War II because the organisers refused German requests. Although a 1940 Tour de France had been announced earlier, the outbreak of the war made it impossible for it to be held. After that, some attempts were made by the Germans during the war to have a Tour de France to maintain the sense of normality, but l'Auto, the organising newspaper, refused. Some other races were run as a replacement.

  • O Tour de France não foi realizado no período da Segunda Guerra Mundial, porque os organizadores se recusaram a organizar a competição durante a ocupação alemã na França. Como o Tour de France de 1940 já havia sido anunciado anteriormente, o surto da guerra tornou impossível sua realização. Os alemães se ofereceram para abrir as fronteiras entre a França ocupada pelos alemães no norte e na região sul para tentar manter um sentido de normalidade, mas L'Auto não aceitou.

Após o fim da Segunda Guerra Mundial, L'Auto fechou as portas, pois a publicação de artigos era muito favorável aos alemães, e o governo francês assumiu os direitos para organizar o Tour.

  • The Tour de France was not held during World War II because the organisers refused German requests. Although a 1940 Tour de France had been announced earlier, the outbreak of the war made it impossible for it to be held. After that, some attempts were made by the Germans during the war to have a Tour de France to maintain the sense of normality, but l'Auto, the organising newspaper, refused. Some other races were run as a replacement. After World War II, l'Auto was closed for collaborating with the Germans. The rights to organise the Tour went to the French government. As two newspapers were interested in these rights, they each organised a small Tour of five stages; the race run by L'Équipe was considered the more successful, so L'Équipe was allowed to organise the 1947 Tour de France.
