Tour de France
🚴 UCI
🌍 INT
The sport’s defining three‑week test. Over 3,000 km of flats, medium mountains, and high‑alpine stages create a GC decided by consistency as much as peak power.
Time trials, crosswinds, and TTT‑like team efforts in transition stages add layers of jeopardy beyond pure climbing.
Racing tempo is unforgiving: minor mishaps become minutes. The yellow jersey rewards complete riders, TT competence, climbing endurance, and positioning acuity, supported by teams drilled to perfection in both mountains and echelons.
