to win the race
Don't really know if it is, they're quite keen of football/soccer too.But France does host the Tour de France, a hugely popular three-week, multi-stage road bicycle race that is quite famous even internationally.There's another race called Paris-Roubaix, which also is rather well known.
If you discount the Olympics and the World Cycling Championships, arguably the "biggest" is the 165 mile French race -Paris Roubaix- which occurs in April. It is raced on narrow roads and over centuries-old cobbles in often times terrible spring weather conditions (rain, wind). The winner must be lucky and a strong, determined survivor who can avoid crashes and be willing to race under the most difficult of conditions against the world's best.
Tandem cycling was last held at the Olympics in 1972
The world's best known cycling race is probably Le Tour de France, which is held in France, which is a country in Europe.
