Tour de France

The Tour de France is an annual multiple-stage race held primarily in France. It is made up of 21 stages over 23 days (two are rest days).

In 1903, the Tour de France began as a rivalry between two French sports newspapers: Le Vélo and L’Auto. A L’Auto Journalist proposed the multi-stage race as a way to sell more copies. The six-stage event over 18 days was won by Frenchman Maurice Garin and is still the biggest cycling race.

Wearing the yellow jersey

Wearing the yellow jersey

There are several classifications based on a range of criteria.

  • The general classification (GC) ranks riders according to their overall time. The leader of the GC wears the yellow jersey. The rider with the fastest overall time at the end of the race is the Tour de France winner.
  • The mountains classification is based on points accumulated on the Tour's classified ascents. The leader of this classification wears the polka-dot jersey.
  • The points classification is for sprinters, and points are awarded for the top finishers on each stage and intermediate sprints.

The most Tour de France wins

The Tour de France is now in its 107th edition. The following riders have won the Tour de France five times:

  • Jacques Anquetil (1957, 1961 - 1964)
  • Eddy Merckx (1969 - 1972, 1974)
  • Bernard Hinault (1978, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1985)
  • Miguel Indurain (1991 - 1995)

Merckx is considered the greatest cyclist of all time. He won the 1969 combination classification, combativity award, points competitions and the Tour overall, and the King of the Mountains jersey in his first appearance.

Jean Robic won the Tour in 1947 despite not earning the yellow jersey.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
