The 1905 Tour de France was the third Tour de France, held from July 9th to July 30th, 1905. The major changes from the previous year included the shortening of stages so that no night riding occurred. This made the tour stretch into 11 stages, almost double from the previous year. The other major change was the way the winner was awarded. During this year they found the winner based on a points system, not on overall time. The goal was to make cheating obsolete. The distance totaled 2,994 km (1,860 mi) and the average cycler's speed was 27.107 km/h. The first major climb, the Ballon d'Alsace, also made its debut in this year's tour.
