in 1920, it really was the tour de France
now, i don't know what it is
So originally it was tour à travers la France but not tour de l'intérieur de la France
But if we follow the lead of Emily in Paris all the cyclists need to do is circuits around the arc de triomphe and eiffel tower.
on sett ⁉️
ouch!
This event has been running on drugs forever. In the 20s -60s, amphetamines and pot belge, a mix of speed and heroin. 2000s saw EPO take over. There were no clean years.
