Summary
The Tour de France is back... so we’re pedalling into the Squiz Kids Vault to revisit one of our favourite Shortcuts. For more than 120 years, cyclists have been racing thousands of kilometres across mountains, country roads and cobblestones in one of the toughest sporting events on Earth. But how did a French newspaper help start the whole thing? Why does the race leader wear yellow? What do the other coloured jerseys mean? And did riders really once try to cheat by catching a train? In this From The Vault episode, Christie and Bryce explore WHAT makes the Tour de France so famous, HOW the race actually works, and WHEN it has made headlines over the years. So, strap on your helmet, grab your water bottle and get ready to roll.
