Tour de France 2013
From June 29 to July 21, 200 riders will take part in the most prestigious competition, Le Tour de France, for its 100th edition! Here is the route:
This route should really be interesting: starting in the beautiful and surprisingly mountainous Corsica, followed by transition stages that will bring the riders to the Pyrenees. July 10th, you shouldn't miss the Mont Saint Michel scene. Last week will take place in the Alps, for what should hopefully be the head to head battles between the favourites.

- The Yellow Jersey : Worn by the current leader of the race, represents general time classification
- The Green Jersey : Worn by the leader of the General points classification. A sprinters ranking.
- The Polka-Dot Jersey : The jersey affiliated with the Best Climber Classification. More commonly known as "The King of The Mountains." It is very rare though that the best climber actually wins this classification though.

- This Tour de France is the 100th edition, it is 3404km long with 21 stages, and two rest days
