Tour de France Cycling
The Tour de France is an annual multiple stage bicycle race primarily held in France, while also occasionally making passes through nearby countries. The race was first organized in 1903 to increase paper sales for the magazine “L’Auto” it is currently run by the Amaury Sport Organization. The Tour originally ran around the perimeter of France. Cycling was an endurance sport and the organisers realised the sales they would achieve by creating supermen of their competitors. The modern Tour typically has 21 daily stages and not more than 3,500 km. The shortest and longest Tours were 2,428 and 5,745 km in 1904 and 1926, respectively.
