 The Tour de France is one of the most prestigious events in sport. But when riders of this year's race cross the finish line later today, it won't be in the usual surroundings of the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Instead, they'll cycle to the Place Messina in Nice. It's the first time in the race's 111 editions that it will not finish in the French capital. The starting location can change yearly, but the conclusion has always been held in Paris.
