Inhaltsangabe

Stop watching the Tour de France... and start understanding it.

Have you ever watched a Tour de France stage and wondered...

• Why doesn't the rider who wins today's stage wear the Yellow Jersey?
• Why does the peloton seem to ride slowly for hours before suddenly exploding into action?
• What exactly are breakaways, domestiques, time bonuses, and the General Classification?
• Which riders should you follow, and what makes one stage more important than another?

You're not alone.

Every July, millions of people tune in to watch the world's greatest cycling race, but many feel lost after just a few minutes. The commentators speak a language that seems impossible to follow, the tactics are confusing, and the drama behind every attack often goes unnoticed.
