Tour de France, let me just start off with this first. The oldest and the most prestigious cycle race even in the history. I have played tour de France cycle game race and it's awesome. You might try that as well. I watch it on TV too. You might as well know that tour de France attracts a lot of tourism to France in the months when it is going to take place.

Since, when, tour de France began there had been numerous ups and downs in the tour. From the legacy of Armstrong's to the now drugs mania. Tour de France has a history of it's own and it's not just like the story of one day. From a dreaded 100 years back start to a now greatest sporting even of the history. Starting in 1903 and running to date, every year.

Winning only a leg or a race of the tour means a lot to any cyclist. It's a once in a lifetime for many. But winning on the whole means a great thing. Let's take the example for this years winner, the Spaniard CONTADOR.

History:
Started: 1903
Number of race: 94

Most wins: Lance Armstrong (USA)
Latest Winner: Alberto Contador 2007(SPAIN)
Most Career Yellow Jersey's: Eddy Merckx (Belgium)(96) (111 overall including half stages)

Now to get back to the topic, the cyclist with the most tour de France wins, yes it is LANCE AMSTRONG (USA). One of the greatest sportsperson in the history of this sport or even any sport. You can say that, he is the ideal of any sportsperson. His achievements and his records, wins etc whatever goes and his life in cancer and after recovering from cancer, it is difficult to explain but this man has made a LEGACY. Such a LEGACY, which may never be broken, but hey, records are meant to be broken but LEGACIES can not be, certainly.
