Bicycle Racing
The Tour de France bicycle road race is held annually in the summer and began in 1903. Racers complete a separate stage each day of the race, which usually takes around three weeks.
The route takes the bicyclists around France and into neighboring countries. The final stage of the Tour de France now traditionally finishes on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
