By Josh Sanchez
If there is one moment when the world pays attention to cycling, it is during the summer for the Tour de France. We would expect this year to be no different as the field of competitors puts everything on the line for a grueling 20+ stages of racing throughout three weeks.
The stages will very in distance and terrain, with different legs of the race being flat, hilly or on a mountain. There is also a time trial near the end of the race that can play a big part in the finishing order.
Every stage is crucial for the riders who are looking to claim the yellow jacket, so make sure you check out the entire schedule for this year’s race.
