The IBAC-Molteni team was a combination of five cyclists from IBAC and five from Molteni, each wearing their own sponsor's jerseys.[1] The main favourite before the race was Jacques Anquetil, at that moment already a three-time winner of the Tour, including the previous two editions. Anquetil had shown good form before the Tour, as he won Paris–Nice, the Dauphiné Libéré, the Critérium National and the 1961 Vuelta a España. Anquetil was not sure if he would ride the Tour until a few days before the start; he had been infected by a tapeworm, and was advised not to start.[2] Anquetil had chosen to ride races with tough climbs, to prepare for the 1963 Tour de France.[3] The major competitor was thought to be Raymond Poulidor, who had shown his capabilities in the 1962 Tour de France.[2] Start listBy teamBy rider Legend'No. | Starting number worn by the rider during the Tour | 'Pos. | Position in the general classification | 'DNF | Denotes a rider who did not finish | By nationality{{Empty section|date=January 2015|section= with adding a table similar to the one found in the List of teams and cyclists in the 2010 Tour de France#By nationality}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1963.php|publisher=Memoire du cyclisme|title=50ème Tour de France 1963|language=French|accessdate=20 January 2015|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120124082753/http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1963.php|archivedate=24 January 2012}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|title=The Story of the Tour de France Volume 1: 1903-1964|last=McGann|first=Bill|author2=McGann, Carol|pages=260–267|publisher=Dog Ear Publishing|year=2006|isbn=1-59858-180-5|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jxq20JskqMUC&pg=PA260}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cyclingrevealed.com/timeline/Race%20Snippets/TdF/TdF1963.htm|title=Anquetil's 4th victory makes TdF history|first=Barry|last=Boyce|publisher=CyclingRevealed|year=2004|accessdate=20 January 2015}} 4. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 {{cite web|url=http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1963.php|title=50ème Tour de France 1963|work=Memoire du cyclisme|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120124082753/http://www.memoire-du-cyclisme.net/eta_tdf_1947_1977/tdf1963.php|archivedate=24 January 2012}}
