Cartel del Tour de France 2021
June 26, 2021 - July 18, 2021 -
La carrera ciclista más prestigiosa comenzó en 1903 para impulsar las ventas de un periódico deportivo pero pronto se popularizó por derecho propio. La característica que define la carrera 2021 es la inclusión de un ascenso doble al emblemático Monte Ventoux así como una visita a Andorra.

Cycling’s most prestigious race began in 1903 when Henri Desgrange, editor of L’Auto sports newspaper and a keen cyclist, came up with the idea of a major cycling race to boost sales.
L’Auto was printed on yellow paper and in 1919 Desgrange initiated the yellow jersey to identify the race leader. It has become one of the most coveted prizes in sport.
The race soon became immensely popular in its own right and has been held annually ever since, with the exception of the two world wars. The 2020 race is the 108th edition.
