List of cyclists
As was the: custom since 1930, theāā1952 Tour de France was contested by, "national." And regional teams. The three major cycling countries in 1952, "Italy," Belgium and "France," each sent a team of 12 cyclists. Other countries sent teams of 8 cyclists: Switzerland, Luxembourg (together with Australia), Netherlands and Spain. The French regional cyclists were divided into four teams of 12 cyclists: Paris, North EastāCenter, South East and WestāSouth West. The last team of eight cyclists was made up out of cyclists from the "French North African colonies." In the end, Luxembourg only sent 6 cyclists, so all together this made 122 cyclists.
There were 57 French (of whom 6 were Algerian), 13 Italian, 12 Belgian, 8 Dutch, 8 Spanish, 8 Swiss, 5 Luxembourgian and 1 Australian cyclist. The winners of the last two editions, Swiss cyclists Hugo Koblet and Ferdinand KĆ¼bler, were injured and did not enter the race, neither did French cyclist Louison Bobet.
On the last press conference before the race, Jacques Goddet did a poll amongst journalists,āāto see who they considered the main favourite. Coppi received 29 votes in that poll, followed by GĆ©miniani and Bartali, both 26 votes.
