The Tour de France breaks bodies, burns calories, and somehow turns massive profits without charging fans a dime. Today's newsletter breaks down the business behind cycling's most famous event.
I was not a fan of the Tour de France until I watched the most recent season on Netflix. Your article helps aid my knowledge of the event and enhances my knowledge considerably. Previously I doubted the talent because of the reports of PED drugs being used by some of the riders. Hopefully that issue has run its coarse.
Always a fun event to watch, despite its controversies. PS there’s also a Women’s TdeF. It’s been an on-and-off race, but with the rise of women’s sports, might be worth at least a footnote Joe 😊🚴🏻♀️🚴♀️🚴🏾♀️

The money issues you report are amazing!
