The Tour de France is one of the most well-know and beloved sporting
events in the world. It is also one of the most grueling. In fact, the
magazine Sporting Times once said that the Tour de France was, 'one of
the most physically and mentally demanding races in the world' (Jensen
28). The Tour de France is a bicycle race that has been taking place every
year-except the years during World Wars I and II -since 1903. On average,
180 riders on 20 teams are pushed to their athletic limits as they cover
more than 2,000 kilometers in only 21 days (Jensen 30). Each day, the race
features a different stage as the racers makes their way around the quiet
and secluded French countryside and into some of the county's biggest and
most populated cities. The riders are then evaluated by how long it took
them to complete that stage. Then, the order of the cyclists is announced.
