The Tour de France 1904 was the second edition of the Tour de France, and was held from July 2 to July 24, 1904.

Hippolyte Aucouturier won four of the six stages. Henri Cornet, born August 4, 1884 - died March 18, 1941, was a French cyclist who won the 1904 Tour de France. ...

However, the race itself was a victim of its own success, and was plagued by a series of scandals.

During the race, nine riders were excluded because of, among other actions, illegal use of cars or trains. The French cycling union (UVF) investigative committee heard testimony of dozens of competitors and witnesses, and in December 1904, disqualified (because of illegal agreements) all the stage winners and the first four finishers (Maurice Garin, Lucien Pothier, César Garin, and Hippolyte Aucouturier). Fifth-placed Henri Cornet, aged 20, therefore became the youngest winner of the Tour. Ten of those disqualified were banned for one year, Maurice Garin (the original winner) was banned for two years and the remaining two were banned for life.

Henri Cornet, born August 4, 1884 - died March 18, 1941, was a French cyclist who won the 1904 Tour de France. ...

The race organiser, Henri Desgrange, was angry on two counts. He said he would never run the race again because it had been overtaken by the "blind emotions" of those who attacked or helped riders as they passed (at one point mobs surrounding and beating riders had to be dispersed by the sound of gun shots); and he was angry that the Union Vélocipédique Française had imposed judgment on his race when he had already disciplined riders as he saw fit.

An angry exchange ensued between Desgrange and the UVF but the letters and the detailed complaints that led to the UVF's actions were lost when the Tour de France archives were transported south in 1940 to avoid the German invasion and were never seen again.

Tour de France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (6173 words)
	The Tour de France, in contrast, has long been a household name around the globe, even amongst people who are not generally interested in pro cycling, and is for cycling what the FIFA World Cup is to football in terms of global popularity.
	Promotion of the Tour de France certainly proved a great success for the newspaper; circulation leapt from 25,000 before the 1903 Tour to 65,000 after it; in 1908 the race boosted circulation past a quarter of a million, and during the 1923 Tour it was selling 500,000 copies a day.
	The Tour is nowadays contested by professional teams backed by commercial sponsors, but the event began as a race for individuals; slipstreaming and other team tactics were initially savagely condemned by Desgrange, and he only accepted their inevitability during the 1920s.

Henri Cornet - definition of Henri Cornet in Encyclopedia (341 words)
	Born in Desvres, Pas-de-Calais, France, he was only 20 years old when he won the Tour de France.
	Such was the commotion over the 1904 race that Tour founder Henri Desgrange declared it was most likely the last time the race would ever be run.
	After winning his second major cycling event in 1906, the Paris-Roubaix race, he was unable to proceed at the start of the 1906 Tour de France, had to abandon it again in 1907, but did manage a very respectable 8th place finish in 1908.
