1903, July the 1st
Maurice Garin of France
It's the competition aspect of winning the race.
Because it's just such a traditional and really really tough race. For a cyclist, winning the Tour de France is bigger than winning a world championship or even the olympics.
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
