Tour de France

Every year the race runs through Paris.

2 - There have been two occasions when the Tour has been won by a rider who never wore the yellow jersey until the race was over. In 1947, Jean Robic overturned a three minute deficit on a 257 km final stage into Paris and in 1968 when Jan Janssenof the Netherlands secured his win in the individual time-trial on the last day.

yes

It's in July, for about three weeks

about 7......

Between 18-22 teams with 9 riders in each.

At least 13

It doesn't really work that way.

Sure, there are a coupleoflong and steepclimbs, but it really depends onthe tactics.

Let's say that the guy in the overalllead isn't that good on climbs, but that the 2nd placerider is.Now, if the day has a mountain stage, which favors the 2nd place rider, then the lead rider and his team will have to ride their hearts out to defend their place.

Or the other way around. If the lead rider is good at climbs and it's a flat stage, then it's that team that will have to ride hard to defent their position.

Or let's say that none of the possible overall winners are particularly good at climbs, then they may well choose to hang back, take it easy, coast over the mountains and let some other riders who aren't in competition for the overall win anyhow battle it out across the mountains.

• Hinault won the Tour de France 5 times between 1978 and 1985
• Miguel Indurain won five times in a row; he won 1991 to 1995.
• Lance Armstrong won seven times, in a row too. But was stripped of his titles due to doping

I think one team this year Caisee D'Epargne the Spanish team Rode Pinarello Prince Bikes

Lanterne Rouge is the named given to the cyclist that finishes last in a race. The term is French for 'Red Lantern' and refers to the lights on the back of the last car of a train.

These days, with team support cars, camera motorcycles and all that, it's really not a problem. Riders are monitored from start to finish for each stage, and help is readily available from the race support crew.

Mavic Cycling's headquarters is based in Annecy, France. For the past few decades, it has been one of the major sponsors of the world's most famous cycling race, the Tour De France.

No, not any more.

Racing got weird when performing very poorly became attractive.

7 yellow jerseys in the Tour De France.

The actual number is 83. The yellow jersey is givin to the leader of the race after each stage. Lance has won the tour de Frace race 7 times.

Twenty teams with nine riders started the Tour De France race in 2008, I'm pretty sure. But I'm not sure of the exact number of who finished the race that year, but i know that few were injured and some dropped out. So not all riders who started were able to finish the race.

Hope that helped you:)

His victory this year was his first. So, so far he has one victory.

In the 1919 Tour de France, just 11 Riders out of 69 entrants finished. This was also the slowest ever tour. http://www.bikeraceinfo.com/tdf/tdfstats.html
