About Tour de France

The Tour de France is the long-distance bicycling race held annually in which cyclists trek approximately 3,600 kilometers (2,200 miles) over three weeks through France and neighboring countries. The race starts the first Saturday of July. Each year the layout of the race varies, but always finishes in Paris, France. The Tour de France is divided into daily stages of competition which include mountain stages, flat stages, prologues, team and individual time-trials, and two rest days. The winner is determined after tallying the shortest total time it took to complete each stage.

The 2010 Tour de France marks the competition’s 97th running and will last from Saturday July 3 to Sunday July 25. The 2010 Tour de France will see 198 competitors begin the race in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and cover a total of 3,642 kilometers (2,263 miles) on their way to Paris.
