7 Exciting Facts About the Tour de France, and Where to Stream the Race

Lasting nearly three weeks and involving several hundred competitors, the Tour de France is one of the biggest sporting events across the globe — and in the world of cycling, it’s definitely the biggest. This much-anticipated annual race faced some setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic, and while the world hasn’t returned to normal yet, devoted cycling fans (and those of us who simply love edge-of-our-seats competition) are eager for the big return slated for this summer.
In honor of the Tour de France’s grand 2021 re-entry to the sporting universe on Saturday, June 26, we’re taking a look at some fun facts that’ll get your anticipation building even more. Plus, you’ll discover where and how you can watch every minute of the race from the comfort of home — no cleats or helmet necessary.
Thousands of People Are Involved

You might already know that a bevy of bicyclists participate in the race — 198 riders spread across 22 different teams compete each year. But the number of people involved in ensuring the race goes off without a hitch is much higher than the number of athletes participating. Organizers take logistics to the next level with team staff members, members of the race jury, thousands of security professionals and members of the media. If you include the spectators in that count, the numbers — pre-pandemic, at least — can run into the millions . From city to city along the race route, hundreds upon hundreds of people follow the action throughout the course of the event. And organizers and support staff keep things running smoothly to the finish line.
The Race Has a Surprising Connection to a Newspaper

The first Tour de France wasn’t held because a bunch of bicycling fans got together and thought it’d be a great idea to start a competition — at least not totally. It was actually a promotional event hosted with the intention of bringing more publicity to L’Auto , a French newspaper that focused on reporting details about different sporting events. Although L’Auto has since closed down, the parent company of its replacement, L’Equipe , continues to organize the Tour de France today.
It’s Not Just Big, but Also Long

And it’s long in multiple ways, too. The race itself takes place over the course of nearly a month, with 21 different day-long segments making up the bulk of the competition. The length of the course is also extensive, however; it’s typically over 2,000 miles long and can pass through multiple neighboring countries. It wasn’t even always this short, either — in 1926, the course encompassed a winding 3,570 miles and took a full month for riders to finish.
Different Jerseys Mean Different Things

As you watch the race, you’ll notice cyclists wearing the bright kits and bibs that represent their teams — but you’ll also spot some even more unique colors and designs among the pack. One of these is a yellow jersey, called the “maillot jaune,” that’s bestowed upon the racer who had the lowest cumulative ride time for the day. Other special jerseys include the green “maillot vert,” which is awarded to the rider with the most points, and the “maillot a pois” — a red and white polka-dotted jersey given to the cyclist who earns the most points during the areas of the course that have steep inclines to climb. The rider who wears the maillot a pois is affectionately known as “the king of the mountain.”
There Was Almost Only One Tour de France

The first Tour de France took place in 1903 – and that was almost the one and only iteration of the race. That’s because newspaper editor Henri Desgrange, who helped organize the initial tour, was so aghast at the conduct not only of the fans but also of the competitors in the 1903 race that he wanted to discontinue it despite its clear appeal. Boisterous crowds turned violent, with spectators assaulting racers as they passed along the course. The riders themselves found numerous ways to cheat, disqualifying themselves in the process. But the Tour de France was so lauded — and it increased circulation of L’Auto so extensively — that the organizers had no choice but to continue hosting the event.
The Race Has Its Own Language

Bonking, anyone? As you’re watching the Tour de France, you might hear commentators use some curious turns of phrase — and many of them will be unique to the race itself. Boost your bicycling know-how by learning what these terms mean before catching one of the race segments:
- Bonking: Cyclists don’t want to “bonk” during this race; it means they’ve run out of energy and are too wiped to continue.
- Peloton: No, it’s not the fancy exercise bike you bought during the pandemic. In Tour de France context, a peloton is the main group of riders where most of the participants are cycling together.
- Sag Wagon: If someone bonks, they may need the assistance of the sag wagon. This is a car that follows the pack of cyclists and picks up those who become too fatigued or injured to keep riding.
- Musket Bag: While it may sound like something you’d find at a Civil War battleground, a musket bag is sort of like a bagged lunch — but it’s packed with energy gels, water, sandwiches and other fuel for the cyclists. It’s also called a “musette” or, sometimes, a “bonk bag.”
- Lanterne Rouge: In French, this term means “red light,” and it refers to the cyclist who’s in the very last place in the race. Being in this position gets riders ample attention, and those who know they won’t win sometimes compete for this distinction instead.
You Can Watch the Action at Home — Here’s How

Now that the race has returned to regularly scheduled programming in 2021 following its 2020 pandemic postponement, you might be eager to catch the three-week racing saga unfold from the comfort of home. Fortunately, you have the convenient option to stream the tour live on both NBC Sports and NBC’s Peacock streaming service.
The race coverage on Peacock is only available through Peacock Premium, a paid tier of the service that costs $4.99 — a worthwhile investment if you’re a serious cycling fan who can’t wait to watch this Grand Tour. NBC Sports is accessible if you’re already paying for regular cable, but without that subscription you won’t be able to stream the program online or watch it on TV unless you spring for Peacock.
Keep in mind that, if you’re not already a Peacock subscriber, you’ll receive a free weeklong trial to better help you determine if the service is right for you. You can use that to catch up on the race and decide if you want to make the month-long (or longer) investment.

Por 'meia roda', Kittel vence última etapa do Tour de France; campeão Froome desfila por Paris
O último dia do Tour de France geralmente reúne os ciclistas para um desfile pelas ruas de Paris. Entretanto, na 100ª edição, o sentimento de competição e a emoção estiveram presentes até o último momento. Em uma disputa decidida apenas por ‘meia roda', o alemão Marcel Kittel, da Team Argos Shimano, superou o compatriota André Greipe e o britânico Mark Cavendish no sprint final e conquistou a prova com o tempo de 3h06min14.
LEIA MAIS Saiba quem são os vencedores do Concurso Tour de France 2013
A rápida etapa de encerramento do Tour, apenas 133,5 km entre Versailles e Paris, teve os sprinters como principais destaques. Na disputa direta pela vitória, Kittel entrou na avenida Champs-Élysees ao lado dos dois adversários que completaram o pódio. Por volta dos últimos 200m, o competidor da Argos alcançou a pequena vantagem que se manteve até o final, apesar da última tentativa de Gripe e Cavendish.
Com a vitória deste domingo, Kittel termina a competição com quatro etapas conquistadas. O alemão termina como o melhor sprinter da edição 2013 do Tour, na frente, por exemplo, do experiente Mark Cavendish vencedor das etapas finais nos últimos quatro anos.
Único brasileiro na disputa da mais tradicional prova do ciclismo internacional, o catarinense Murilo Fischer, da FDJ.FR, terminou a última etapa como o 10º colocado, terminando com o mesmo tempo que o vencedor Marcel Kittel. No geral, o atleta natural de Brusque ficou no 133ª posto.
A comemoração de Kittel, entretanto, foi superada por outro ciclista. Em uma etapa apenas de desfile, o britânico Chris Froome terminou apenas na 114ª posição, mas ratificou o título da 100ª edição do Tour de France. O atleta da Sky Procycling terminou com uma vantagem de 4min20 em relação ao colombiano Nairo Quintana. O espanhol Joaquim Rodríguez completou o pódio, 5min04 atrás do campeão.
Confira os 10 primeiros colocados na última etapa do Tour de France:
1. Marcel Kittel (ALE/Argos) - 3h06min14 2. André Greipel (ALE/Lotto Belisol) - mesmo tempo 3. Mark Cavendish (GBR/Omega) - mesmo tempo 4. Peter Sagan (ESV/Cannondale)- mesmo tempo 5. Roberto Ferrari (ITA/Lampre) - mesmo tempo 6. Alexander Kristoff (NOR/Katusha) - mesmo tempo 7. Kévin Reza (FRA/Europcar) - mesmo tempo 8. Yohann Gene (FRA/Europcar) - mesmo tempo 9. Daniele Bennati (ITA/Saxo Tinkoff) - mesmo tempo 10. Murilo Antonio Fischer (BRA/FDJ) - mesmo tempo
Confira a classificação geral do Tour de France:
1. Christopher Froome (GBR/Sky) - 83h56min40 2. Nairo Alexander Quintana (COL/Movistar) - 04min20 3. Joaquim Rodríguez (ESP-Katusha) - 05min04 4. Alberto Contador (ESP/Saxo Tinkoff) - 06min27 5.

Stages tour de france 2013 - 6/29/2013.

The Tour de France celebrates its 100th edition in 2013. The first Tour took place in 1903. Some editions were cancelled because of the World Wars. The 2013 edition refers to the 1903 edition with an all-France parcours and some finishes in the same cities, like Lyon and Marseille. In between, the Tour travels through the country in a peculiar way, due to its start on the isle of Corse. There, the first climbs can be expected. Next, it goes via the Mediterranean coast towards the Pyrenees. A light-menu Pyrenees awaits the riders this year with a finish on Ax-3-Domaines. Via a detour in the Northwest of France, the Tour returns to the south via the Massif Central. The first mountain stage there finishes up the Mont Ventoux (side Bédoin). Next, there are two more top finishes in the Alps with the Alpe d'Huez (climbed twice in the same stage) and Le Grand Bornand. Including also a time-trial, the last week is expected to be all-decisive. All-in-all, the Tour 2013 is more difficult and balanced than its predecessor and has much better designed mountain stages.
