Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Tour de France have its own category instead of sharing one with other competitions?
A three-week multi-stage cycling race is a distinct competition format with no equivalent among this atlas's other live competitions.
Grand Tour Stage Races was created to hold the Tour de France as its own category rather than folding it into a neighbouring one: a multi-stage cycling race run over three weeks is a distinct competition format with no equivalent among this atlas's other live competitions, and cycling's Grand Tour races are a globally recognized format in their own right even though only one is minted here today.
