Week 16
Talking about a popular sport event: Tour de France

A Hello, my name is Angela Torres

B Hello, my name is Jazmin Chávez
C Hello, my name is Karen Toledo
A The preeminent event in cycling takes place each summer in France. A recent
article estimates that 3.5 billion viewers worldwide tune in to watch the Tour de
France every year
B In addition to being one of the most prestigious competitions in the sport, it is
also one of the most difficult with a course that winds through the country’s
scenic mountain roads
C The race consists of 21 stages totaling approximately 2,200 miles, raced over 23
days. Competitors race as part of an 8-person team, working together to achieve
the fastest cumulative time
A Dating way back to 1903, the Tour de France has become one of the biggest
events in the sporting world. The reigning champ is 22-year-old Tadej Pogačar
The Slovenian cyclist became the youngest rider in 110 years when he won the
yellow jersey in 2021
B Yeah!!. He's also the youngest person to win twice, the first person to win twice
within 12 months (due to the delayed 2020 race) The first person to win the
yellow, polka-dot and white jerseys two years in a row.
C Basically, it's a huge bike race around France! Millions of people line the route
that's made up of 21 stages raced over 23 days - that means they only have two
days off to rest. Ouch!
A Twenty-two teams from right across the world are involved in the Tour, with
each having up to nine riders. The riders average around 25 miles per hour over
the entire course but at some points they'll go a lot faster than that, sometimes
over 70 miles per hour!
B Every wondered why the riders are so thin? Well, it's fair to say it's a good way
to keep fit. If you finish the gruelling Tour, you could burn off up to 118,000
calories. That's the equivalent of 26 chocolate bars per day!
C The race is broken up into 21 different parts or 'stages' and it isn't just flat roads.
The Tour takes the riders up into the mountains too. The different stages have
different names:
 Prologue: Each rider races against the clock in a short (usually under six
miles) time trial.
 Flat: Despite the name, it doesn't necessarily mean it's perfectly flat.
Usually it's big packs of competitors riding together in a big group or
'peloton' for around 125 miles. These end in one of two ways - a
 'breakaway' victory by an individual or small group, or typically with a
hair-raising bunch sprint.
A Next stages are:
 Time trial: A race against the clock. Similar to a prologue but a little
longer. These are shorter stages of around 30 miles (as opposed to 100-
125 miles). Sometimes riders do it by themselves, sometimes they ride
as a team
 Mountain: These come in all shapes and sizes, climbing from sea level
to 2,000 meters sometimes more than once in a day. Tough!
B The race was started by Henri Desgrange as a publicity stunt back in 1903. He
came up with the crazy idea of a bike race around France in order to raise the
profile of L'Auto, the newspaper he worked for.
C The first race was a huge success with 60 riders covering an amazing 1,500
miles.
