There are more positions than you need. The Tour de France 23 days of extreme sport By Moya Irvine The Tour de France is one of the world s greatest sporting events, and the ultimate test for an athlete. The race is held in France of course with occasional stages in other countries but in recent years, British cyclists have dominated it. In 2012, Bradley Wiggins became the first British cyclist to win, and since then, Chris Froome has won four times. [ A ] For 23 days in July, competitors ride up hills and mountains, make brutal descents and speed along roads, covering around 3,500km with only two rest days. Their average speed on flat terrain is 40 to 45 km/h. In order to have any chance of success, riders need months and years yes, years! of intensive and carefully planned training and the right food. When they are preparing for the race season, riders spend a lot of their time on their bikes. Geraint Thomas told the Guardian newspaper: During the off season we generally train in four-day blocks three long training days followed by an easy day on the fourth day. [ B ]. Chris Froome, who was born in Kenya and went to school in South Africa, trains near Johannesburg. The location is ideal, because the city is high above sea level. The air is thinner here it has less oxygen. The body adapts to lower oxygen by producing more red blood cells. [ C ] Other riders do their altitude training in places like Tenerife. A rider racing over 180 km, the average length of a Tour de France stage, burns more than 6,000 calories. So the right nutrition is very important. [ D ] Riders start off with a 9.00 breakfast with lots of carbohydrates and protein followed by a snack with more carbs at During the ride they use special drinks, gels and energy bars to stay hydrated and get more calories. Immediately after the race, they start eating again and back at their hotel, they fill up with a nutrient-rich dinner at Food is important during training too. [ E ]Chris Froome, for example, is 1.86 m tall and weighs only 68kg. The four-time champion says you need to watch every little thing you put in your mouth because every gramme of weight counts on climbs. But even the best training and diet alone won t make a Tour de France winner. He also needs an excellent bike, a great team and lastly, mental strength. That s what keeps a rider going when every muscle is protesting. Even injuries can t stop these elite athletes. In 2013, for example, Geraint Thomas fractured his pelvis in a fall in the Tour de France. Most of us would see that as a good reason to give up, but Thomas told journalists: It s the Tour. [ F ] I m definitely going to keep fighting.
