The Tour de France is the most prestigious race in the cycling calendar and is known around the world even with non-cycling fans.
Stage one was a very hectic one with two massive crashes. But it was world champion Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck – Quick-Step) who kicked clear with around 2km to go and stayed away to win the opening stage and take the yellow jersey.
So many riders, including Chris Froome (Israel Start-Up Nation) who makes his return to the race for the first time in three years.

Tour de France classifications brief explanation
The Tour de France has six classifications where just four give out a leaders jersey. The leader of the overall standings and eventual winner of the race wears the yellow jersey.
The rider who leads the points standings will wear the green jersey, this is often a sprinter with Irishman Sam Bennett taking the jersey in 2020.
In the mountains, the rider who collects the most points over the various categorised climbs gets to wear the white jersey with red polka-dots.
And finally, the white jersey denotes the leader of the best young rider. This has been won by the winner of the overall standings in the last two editions of the race.
The other two classifications are the best team’s standings. This takes into account the first three riders across the line from each team and puts their times together. It is often won by Movistar Team.
The last classification is awarded daily by a jury. This is the combativity prize. A rider will be awarded a red number that he wears on the following stage after showing outstanding combative nature either in a break or in an unseen part of the race.
As well as that, the rider who has performed the best in the breaks throughout the race will win the Super-Combativity award, also awarded by a jury.
