Facts
Tour de France is to bike racing as Masters is to golf and Wimbledon to tennis.
The race consists of a few stages with a total distance of more than 2000 miles over a duration of 3 weeks.
It is normally held in summer during the month of July.
The Tour de France was started during the Industrial age when a sporting newspaper called, L’Auto-V lo, offered a prize to anyone who could beat others in an attempt to cycle round the whole of France. It was a publicity stunt to sell more copies of the newspaper.
