'Le
Tour de France' is a centenary bike race that starts on July and
there're 21 stages and the racers do 3,656km.
This
race is a very emblematic one and all the cyclists want to race it.
The most of the routes are in France, but a few ones pass in the UK,
in Italy and in Catalonia too. Is one of the most heavy bike race of
the world and this year they do: 9 flat stages, 11 mountains stages
and 1 individual time-trial stage.
A
very special think of the Tour are the differents colors of the
jerseys: the first of the competition wears a yellow one, the best
racer climbing wears a white with red spots, the first that have no
more than 25 years, wears a white one and the best sprinter, a green
one.
This
year they celebrate the 101th edition and 22 teams
celebrate it trying to win it! In each team there're 8 racers and the
one that wears the number one is the cyclist that he has to win.
A
thing that makes 'The Tour' special is the ambient that gives and
that there comes a lot of people of forgein countries. It's too
exciting!
