Introducing the ProForm Tour De France Indoor Cycling Bike the Official Training Bike of Le Tour De France. Daarom wordt deze vijfde rit nu al door sommige renners omgedoopt tot het ’abattoir’ (slachthuis) van deze Tour. Ja, een ding is zeker: Het wordt Russische roulette. Het is een ongeschreven wet in de wielersport: Op de kasseien kun je de Tour niet winnen, maar wel verliezen. Alles verliep super totdat een andere renner binnendoor wilde, te veel risico nam en Frank Schleck meenam in zijn val. Ik stond toen als eerste bij mijn pijnlijdende kopman. Bijna een heel seizoen had hij naar die Tour toegeleefd. En daar zat hij met een dubbele sleutelbeenbreuk. Dan knapt er wel iets in.”Zoveel jaren later weet Voigt niet of het terecht was dat hij Christian Prudhomme voor moordenaar uitmaakte. Mijn beste vriend, getuige op mijn huwelijk, sprak me later aan. De kasseien zorgen spektakel, het wordt een grote show. Het publiek langs de route en achter de televisie zullen genieten. Voor ons renners wordt het echter een levensgevaarlijke dag.”. Tour de France - Wikipedia. The Tour de France (French pronunciation: . The race was first organized in 1. L'Auto. Participation expanded from a primarily French field, as riders from all over the world began to participate in the race each year. The Tour is a UCI World Tour event, which means that the teams that compete in the race are mostly UCI World. Teams, with the exception of the teams that the organizers invite. While the route changes each year, the format of the race stays the same with the appearance of time trials. All of the stages are timed to the finish; the riders' times are compounded with their previous stage times. The roots of the Tour de France trace to the emergence of two rival sports newspapers in the country. On the one hand was Le V. On the other was L'Auto, which had been set- up by journalists and business- people including Comte Jules- Albert de Dion, Adolphe Cl. The rival paper emerged following disagreements over the Dreyfus Affair, a cause c. He was a prominent cyclist and owner with Victor Goddet of the velodrome at the Parc des Princes. De Dion knew him through his cycling reputation, through the books and cycling articles that he had written, and through press articles he had written for the Cl. Stagnating sales lower than the rival it was intended to surpass led to a crisis meeting on 2. November 1. 90. 2 on the middle floor of L'Auto's office at 1. Rue du Faubourg Montmartre, Paris. The last to speak was the most junior there, the chief cycling journalist, a 2. G. Long- distance cycle races were a popular means to sell more newspapers, but nothing of the length that Lef. It could, as Desgrange said, . Desgrange was doubtful but the paper's financial director, Victor Goddet, was enthusiastic. He handed Desgrange the keys to the company safe and said: . The plan was a five- stage race from 3. May to 5 July, starting in Paris and stopping in Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux and Nantes before returning to Paris. Toulouse was added later to break the long haul across southern France from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Stages would go through the night and finish next afternoon, with rest days before riders set off again. But this proved too daunting and the costs too great for most and only 1. Desgrange had never been wholly convinced and he came close to dropping the idea. Instead, he cut the length to 1. July, and offered a daily allowance to those who averaged at least 2. He also cut the entry fee from 2. The winner would thereby win six times what most workers earned in a year. That attracted between 6. He announced his new race on 1 July 1. It was waved away by the starter, Georges Abran, at 3: 1. L'Auto hadn't featured the race on its front page that morning. Only a mere 2. 4 entrants remained at the end of the fourth stage. Garin dominated the race, winning the first and last two stages, at 2. The last rider, Millocheau, finished 6. L'Auto's mission was accomplished as throughout the race circulation of the publication doubled, making the race something much larger than Desgrange had ever hoped for. Cheating was rife and riders were beaten up by rival fans as they neared the top of the col de la R. The leading riders, including the winner Maurice Garin, were disqualified, though it took the Union V. Mc. Gann says the UVF waited so long . Desgrange's despair did not last. By the following spring he was planning another Tour, longer at 1. Stages in 1. 90. 5 began between 3 am and 7: 3. The race captured the imagination. L'Auto's circulation rose from 2. The Tour returned after its suspension during World War One and continued to grow, with circulation of L'Auto reaching 5. The record claimed by Desgrange was 8. Tour. Desgrange experimented with different ways of judging the winner. Initially he used total accumulated time (as used in the modern Tour de France) but from 1. By time, a rider coping with a mechanical problem. Equally, riders could finish so separated that time gained or lost on one or two days could decide the whole race. Judging the race by points removed over- influential time differences but discouraged competitors from riding hard. It made no difference whether they finished fast or slow or separated by seconds or hours, so they were inclined to ride together at a relaxed pace until close to the line, only then disputing the final placings that would give them points. The format changed over time. The Tour originally ran around the perimeter of France. Cycling was an endurance sport and the organisers realised the sales they would achieve by creating supermen of the competitors. Night riding was dropped after the second Tour in 1. That reduced the daily and overall distance but the emphasis remained on endurance. Desgrange said his ideal race would be so hard that only one rider would make it to Paris. Early tours had long multi- day stages, with the format settling on 1. After this stages were gradually shortened, such that by 1. Desgrange initially preferred to see the Tour as a race of individuals. The first Tours were open to whoever wanted to compete. Most riders were in teams that looked after them. The private entrants were called touriste- routiers . Some of the Tour's most colourful characters have been touriste- routiers. One finished each day's race and then performed acrobatic tricks in the street to raise the price of a hotel. Until 1. 92. 5 Desgrange forbade team members from pacing each other. The 1. 92. 7 and 1. Tours, however, consisted mainly of team time- trials, an unsuccessful experiment which sought to avoid a proliferation of sprint finishes on flat stages. Until 1. 93. 0 he demanded that riders mend their bicycles without help and that they use the same bicycle from start to end. Exchanging a damaged bicycle for another was allowed only in 1. Desgrange stood against the use of multiple gears and for many years insisted riders use wooden rims, fearing the heat of braking while coming down mountains would melt the glue that held the tires on metal rims (they were finally allowed in 1. By the end of the 1. Desgrange believed he could not beat what he believed were the underhand tactics of bike factories. When the Alcyon team contrived to get Maurice De Waele to win even though he was sick, he said . There was no place for individuals in the post- 1. Desgrange created regional teams, generally from France, to take in riders who would not otherwise have qualified. The original touriste- routiers mostly disappeared but some were absorbed into regional teams. In 1. 93. 6 Desgrange had a prostate operation. At the time, two operations were needed; the Tour de France was due to fall between them. Desgrange persuaded his surgeon to let him follow the race. The second day proved too much and, in a fever at Charleville, he retired to his ch. Desgrange died at home on the Mediterranean coast on 1. August 1. 94. 0. The race was taken over by his deputy, Jacques Goddet. Jacques Goddet was allowed to publish another daily sports paper, L'. Each organised a candidate race. Both were five stages, the longest the government would allow because of shortages. L'. Amaury was a newspaper magnate whose condition was that his sports editor, F. The two worked together, Goddet running the sporting side and L. Most stages would last one day but the scheduling of 'split' stages continued well in to the 1. Green Jersey 'Points' competition. National teams contested the Tour until 1. The teams were of different sizes. Some nations had more than one team and some were mixed in with others to make up the number. National teams caught the public imagination but had a snag: that riders might normally have been in rival trade teams the rest of the season. The loyalty of riders was sometimes questionable, within and between teams. Sponsors were always unhappy about releasing their riders into anonymity for the biggest race of the year, as riders in national teams wore the colours of their country and a small cloth panel on their chest that named the team for which they normally rode. The situation became critical at the start of the 1. Sales of bicycles had fallen and bicycle factories were closing. There was a risk, the trade said, that the industry would die if factories were not allowed the publicity of the Tour de France. The Tour returned to trade teams in 1. The Union Cycliste Internationale introduced limits to daily and overall distances, imposed rest days and tests were introduced for riders. It was then impossible to follow the frontiers, and the Tour increasingly zig- zagged across the country, sometimes with unconnected days' races linked by train, while still maintaining some sort of loop. The Tour returned to national teams for 1. The Tour returned to trade teams in 1. This never happened. He introduced the finish of the Tour at the Avenue des Champs- . In the years before 1. L. The organisation of the 1. Tour de France was taken over by Jean- Fran. The former television presenter Christian Prudhomme . In 1. 99. 3 ownership of L'. That number expands to about 2. ASO now also operate several other major bike races throughout the year. Classifications. The leader of the race also has the privilege to wear the race leader's yellow jersey. If a rider is leading more than one classification that awards a jersey, he wears the . The lead can change after each stage. The yellow jersey was added to the race in the 1. Tour de France. Each team brings multiple yellow jerseys in advance of the Tour in case one of their riders becomes the overall leader of the race. Riders usually try to make the extra effort to keep the jersey for as long as possible in order to get more publicity for the team and the sponsor(s) of the team. Eddy Merckx has worn the yellow jersey for 9. Tour de France. Four riders have won the general classification five times in their career: Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Miguel Indurain. Mountains classification.
