They use road bikes in the Tour de France mostly because the race course is on roads. Since the road is mostly smooth, the additional weight and complexity of a bicycle suspension is not required. In fact, anything that does not directly contribute to the riders moving along the road as quickly and safely as possible is left off, such as racks, lights, and fenders.
