TOUR de FRANCE

HISTORY
The Tour de France is an annual bicycle race that covers more than 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi) throughout France and bordering countries. The race usually lasts 23 days and attracts cyclists from around the world.
The race is broken down into day-long segments, called stages. Individual times to finish each stage are totaled up to determine the overall winner at the end of the race. The course changes every year but it has always finished in Paris.
The Tour de France is the oldest, most prestigious
and the best known bicycle race in the world!

Lance Armstrong (born Lance Edward Gunderson on September 18, 1971) has won the
            Tour a record-breaking seven consecutive years, from 1999 to 2005. He is the only individual to win 7 times and is favored to win again in 2009. In 1999, Lance was named American Broadcasting Company Wide World of Sports Athlete of the year. In 2000, he won the Prince of Asturias Award in sports. In 2002, Sports Illustrated magazine named Lance Armstrong Sportsman of the year. He was also named Associated press Male Athlete of the Year for 2002, 2003, 2004 & 2005.

He received ESPN's ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete in 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Overseas Personality Award in 2003.

Armstrong retired from racing on July 24, 2005, at the end of  2005 Tour de France, but has returned to the                     Tour again this year.

Go Lance!!
