A Tour de France participant is a RACER and a BIKER. The Tour de France is an annual multiple stage bicycle race primarily held in France, while also occasionally passing through nearby countries. It is one of the most prestigious cycling events in the world and is considered to be the most difficult cycling race. Racers and bikers compete in the Tour de France in order to win the yellow jersey, which is awarded to the rider with the lowest cumulative time over the entire race.
