Crash on the Tourmalet (Tour de France 1937)

Col du Tourmalet was included in the program of the 15th stage alongside with its good old companies: Col de Peyresourde, Col d’ Aubisque and Col d’Aspen. The 194 km long stage between Luchon and Pau  was won by Julian Berrendero. Sylvére Maes extended his lead in the GC against Roger Lapebie.

A few days later the entire Belgian team left the race due to controversies. Lapebie won the Tour de France.
