Three weeks, 21 stages, many thousands of kilometers – for 111 years, the Tour de France has been a huge sporting event with a tremendous fascinating power. Back in 1957, Roland Barthes compared it to the hero’s journey of classical mythology: “As in the Odyssey, the race is here both a periplus of ordeals and a total exploration of the earth’s limits.” In Tour de France, Stephan Klemm presents a stunning panorama of the event’s history, full of stories and surprising facts. Few know better than André Greipel and Marcel Kittel that the Tour de France is both a legend and an incredible ordeal. Both have had successful careers as professional cyclists, were influential top German athletes and often won individual stages of the Tour as sprinting specialists. They will talk about the drama, the victories, defeats and torturous mountain stages as well as exciting sprint duels. A fascinating insight into the legendary Tour!
