Twenty teams with nine riders started the Tour De France race in 2008, I'm pretty sure. But I'm not sure of the exact number of who finished the race that year, but i know that few were injured and some dropped out. So not all riders who started were able to finish the race. Hope that helped you:)
Riders participating in the Tour de France use bicycles. They also wear helmets, cycling shoes, and clothing in their team colors.

There are 9 riders in each tour de France team.That is the limit.the maximum and starting number is 9. throughout the race numbers may decrease due to injury or failing to finish.Nine riders at the start, and then a bunch of support staff. Massage therapists, physio therapists, doctors, dieticians, mechanics, tacticians etc etc.
I think one team this year Caisee D'Epargne the Spanish team Rode Pinarello Prince Bikes
Simply because a group of riders can do better than riders competing on their own, which turns most longer races into team events. If you want bicycle races that are run individually, look for time trial events.
There were 199 riders starting the 2009 tour.
There are typically around 20 teams, although it varies each year. Each team with 9 riders.
About 200 riders. 9 in each team and about 22 teams. Then hordes of support personnel.
In the year 2010, there are 22 teams.

One for each time the race has been held of course!
The most well known Tour de France is a bicycle race, not a running race.
Two. Astana and Saxo Bank
