Tour de France 2024 begins

It"s time to get pedaling. The Tour de France, the world"s most famous bike race, is starting today. Beginning in Florence, Italy, the 2024 Tour will cover 2,170 miles and will be a little different from previous years. The final finish line has always been in Paris; however, this year the French capital will be busy getting ready for the Olympic Games so the race will end in Nice, on France"s Mediterranean coast.
