The Tour de France is the world’s best-known cycling race, a three week long road race that covers a circuit of most areas around France, and sometimes neighboring countries. The race is broken into stages from one town to another, each of which is an individual race. The time taken by cyclists to complete each stage becomes a cumulative total in order to decide the outright winner at the end of the Tour.
