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. Several of the favorites crashed there that year, and ended that stage 7 minutes behind the peloton. Fortunately, this year they took the bridge to the island.

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. Fabio Casartelli Fabio Casartelli (August 1, 1970 near Como, Italy - July 18, 1995) was an Italian cyclist, who died in a crash on the descent of the Col de Portet dAspet, France, during the 15th stage of the Tour de France. ... Ballon dAlsace is a 1247 meter high mountain at the border of Alsace, Lorraine, and Franche-Comté. From its top there is a nice view on the Vosges, the Rhine valley and the Black Forest. ...

The race jury invoked the 'rain rule' for the Champs-Elysees, 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.
