    Road cycling, particularly racing, is one of the most publicized sports in almost every country of the world. The sport began in 1893 when the first world championship was held, and was a part of the 1896 Olympic Games in Athens. Soon afterward, modern road cycling started to take shape. Popular races from those early days of the sport have gained prestige with time, such as the Tour de France, the Giro d’Italia, and the Ronde Van Vlaanderen.
