About this episode

In July of every year, over the course of three weeks, the world’s best road cyclists assemble in France to compete in the world’s premier bicycling race: the Tour de France. 

The competition is one of the most grueling in all of sports and cyclists often have to endure levels of pain and exhaustion which are seldom seen in sports.

Over the 120 years, it has been in existence, it has seen its share of drama and controversy, sometimes due to competition and sometimes due to politics. 

Learn more about the Tour de France and its 120-year history, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
