Tour De France

The first Tour de France was held in 1903. It was organized by the newspaper L'Auto to boost sales and became the most prestigious cycling race in the world.

The yellow jersey (maillot jaune) is awarded to the rider with the lowest overall time after each stage.

The polka dot jersey is awarded to the King of the Mountains, the best climber in the race.

The modern Tour de France consists of 21 stages, covering a variety of terrains including mountains, flats, and time trials.

The Champs-Élysées in Paris has been the traditional finish location for the final stage of the Tour de France since 1975.

Hors Catégorie (beyond category) is the term used to describe the toughest mountain stages that are considered too difficult to categorize.

The white jersey is awarded to the best young rider under the age of 26 based on overall time.

Mont Ventoux is famously called the "Giant of Provence" and is known for its challenging climb and harsh conditions.

The Tour de France typically covers around 3500 km over 21 stages.

The yellow jersey (Maillot Jaune) was chosen as the color for the leader's jersey in the Tour de France because the race's original sponsor, the newspaper L'Auto, was printed on yellow paper.
