The Tour de France is the most famous cycling race in the world. It first started on July 1, 1903. Sixty cyclists left Paris and rode 467 kilometers to Lyon, another big city in France. There were six stages in that race. Each was about 400 kilometers long. At that time there were no rest days. The winner who used the shortest total time was Maurice Garin. He received 2,000 francs (法郎). It took him 94 hours and 33 minutes to ride all 2,428 kilometers of the race, three hours faster than the other riders.

Now the Tour de France is held in July every year. There are 21-day stages now. Riders have one or two days to rest. And the race covers different distances each time, from 2,000 miles to 3,500 miles. There are three special honors (荣誉) for the race. The highest is the “yellow jersey (运动衫) ”. Henri Desgranges had the idea for the yellow jersey in 1919. The racer with the lowest total time in the past stages wears the yellow jersey during the following day’s race. Other honors are the “green jersey,” for the best sprinter (冲刺者), and “the white jersey”, for the best rider in the mountains.
