[A ruled table in a double-rule frame, under a heading set between two wavy-line ornaments, gives for each of the 22 stages the route, the stage winner and the make of bicycle, tires and derailleurs he rode; the bicycle cells for L. BOBET and LAZARIDES carry the frame maker in parentheses on a second line. Three closing rows give the same details for the general classification, the points classification and the best-climber prize. The general-classification row follows stage 22 with its label in the route column and its winner and makes set in bold; the points and best-climber rows sit below double rules, their labels running across the stage and route columns.]
