Cycling

Cycling encompasses road racing, track cycling, mountain biking, and BMX - all of which feature in the Olympic Games.

The Tour de France is cycling's most famous event, held annually over three weeks across France. Legends of the sport include Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Induráin, Lance Armstrong, and more recently Tadej Poga?ar and Jonas Vingegaard. Cycling also serves as sustainable urban transport worldwide.
