Many of the closest have happened in the last decade, and we relive the incredible performances of Cadel Evans in 2011 and Andy Schleck in 2010.
We also tackle the controversy of the 2006 and 2007 Tours, where the outcome was only decided after protracted legal wrangling after positive drug tests.
Finally, we delve back into the history books, to the rivalries of Anquetil and Poulidor, and Lemond and Fignon, for the closest victories of all.
