On July 1, 1903, the first edition of the Tour de France was held, with the aim of selling more newspapers. It was held in six stages, with a total distance of 2,428 kilometres, which meant that some races took place at night on rough, unpaved roads.
The final winner of this first edition was Maurice Garin.
At Manaslu Adventures we encourage you to comfortably relive this first edition of the 1903 Tour de France, which over the years has ended up being the largest sporting event with the greatest media following in the world.
