This year - 2010 - is the 97th Tour, though the event began in 1903 (it wasn't held during the two World Wars).in 2012 the Tour de France was cycled for the 99th time.They have one every year, with it lasting 23 days. The first event was in 1903, but there have been 10 cancellations due to the 2 world wars, so there have only been 98 editions in 108 years.I think there are 108108
What is the differene between Tour De France and Tour De Okinawa?
Any web search will tell you what the Tour de France is and if you check out the sports channel, the race is being run even now as I type this. That being said, I will not go into all the Tour de France is... The Tour de Okinawa is a smaller bike race run here on the island of Okinawa Japan. This is pretty much where the similarities end. They're both bicycle races.On to your question of how they are different...They are in different countries on different continents. (One in France, one in Okinawa, Japan.)They are different lengths. The Tour de France is a race run over 19 days (21 counting days of rest) and covers 3,445 kilometers (2,141 mi), including 93 kilometers (58 mi) in time trials. The Tour de Okinawa covers 200 kilometers (124 mi). What do you expect though, our island is only about 65 miles top to bottom and between 3-16 miles wide depending on where you measure. (We're not that large.)The Tour de France is run in the summer whereas the Tour de Okinawa is run in November. (You don't really want to race a bike here in the summer... though some do... it gets REALLY hot and humid.)I hope this is enough to get you started... A couple of websites to help you go further are "www.letour.fr/indexus.html" for the Tour de France, and "www.tour-de-okinawa.jp/english/index.html" for the Tour de Okinawa.Cheers!
