After the quarell between Henri Desgrange and Henri Pelissier last year, a new rule was made, that any rider that harmed the Tour's image would be banned for the next years.
Team Automoto had a really strong line-up: Ottavio Bottecchia (Tour de France winner 1924 and 1925) , Philippe Thys (Tour de France winner 1913,1914,1920) , Henri (Tour de France winner 1923) and Francis Pélissier, and Lucien (Tour de France winner 1926) and Jules Buysse.
A big generation change was about to come, this was the last Tour de France for Eugéne Christophe, Jean Alavoine, Philippe Thys, Henri Pélissier,and Hector Heusghem.
Between 1910 and 1924 the program of Tour de France included 15 stages. From 1925 the format has switched to split the route into 18 stages.
After the race Lucien Buysse told his family, that he was happy rather to help Ottavio Bottecchia to win the race and in exchange to get a share from the Italian's earning, than go for his own success. He was confident that one day he would win the Tour de France anyway. (As it happened in the subsequent year.)
