I saw that the Tour de France was on the other day. How does that work exactly?
The Tour de France is a multi-stage bicycle race across France! It also passes into other countries briefly.
Oh so that is why it was on every day. I thought the Tour de France was just a single race.
Yes, it actually consists of of 21 stages that take place over 3 weeks.
That is a long race. How long has it been going for?
The race was first organized in the early 1900s, so over 100 years!
That is incredible. Is this the race Lance Armstrong won?
That's right! He holds the record with seven consecutive wins!
