1904 had the largest percentage of disqualifications ever in a TDF. (True DQs, not time elimination or retiring). 12 of riders were disqualified, including the first 4 finishers resulting in in Henri Cornet who originally was just 33 seconds short of 3 hours behind the winner being the new winner. He is still the youngest winner ever.
Oh and most of the disqualifications were fro catching a train. Training if you will.
