The first bicycle race was held in France in 1869. Competitive events today include road races, track races, off-road mountain bike races, and youth BMX races. Road racing is the oldest type of bicycle competition. There are several formats of road racing, including stage races, one-day events, and time trials. Stage races can last for weeks and cover thousands of kilometers. Each day's race is called a stage. The rider with the lowest result time after all the stages is the overall winner. The Tour de France, which lasts about three weeks and covers about 3200km, is the most prestigious bicycle race in the world. The length of the Tour de France varies, as does the number of stages, but in recent years, the race has featured about 20 stages. Cyclists generally have two or three days off for rest. One-day races usually last from four to seven hours and span from 160 to 380 km. Examples of one-day races include the world championship road race, the Olympic road race, and European spring classics such as Paris-Roubaix. In time trials, the object is to cycle as fast as possible from one point to another, while being timed by a clock. There are usually two or three time trials stages in the Tour de France.
