Tour de France

 I admit that I knew very little about the Tour de France outside of hearing names like Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong and about the yellow jersey.

But while flipping through TV channels my sister and I saw some of the race and became hooked. 

The peloton is particularly intriguing with the large group of riders mere inches from each other and the strategies for drafting and more.  There are also meaningful green, white and polka dot jerseys.

The 2022 Tour de France began on July 1 with the Grand Départ in Denmark and ends July 24 in Paris. 

Watch the special episode of Fun with Maps about the Tour de France.
