Not only is The Tour de France the most recognisable name in world cycling it is one of the world's leading sporting events.
The time that each rider achieves per stage is combined to determine the overall winner of the event. There are smaller titles competed for within the race with the holders being awarded a specific jersey.
Examples of Tour de France jerseys include: The Yellow Jersey (overall time leader), Green Jersey (points leader), Polka Dot Jersey (King of the Mountains) and the White Jersey (best performing rider under 25).
Lance Armstrong is the most successful rider in the history of the race, winning it seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005, setting a whole host of new records.
Statistics for past Tours are:
Raymond Poulidor may not have won the Yellow Jersey, but he is the rider who stepped the highest number of times on the podium of the Tour (he finished 8 times in the Top 3!), more than Hinault, Zoetemelk, Ullrich and Armstrong (7), Garrigou, Anquetil and Merckx (6), LeMond and Indurain (5), Van Impe and L. Bobet (4).
So if you think you can predict the winner of the Tour de France or you as a whole or you have a favourite to win the King of the Mountains place a bet with Unibet.
