This Week in Outdoor History: Past Tour de France Winners
Instead of the weekly outdoor history and in honor of the Tour de France, I've decided to highlight the previous winners of the premier cycling event.

The race begin in 1903 and was won by Maurice Garin of France. In the early years of the Tour de France was dominated by French and Belgian riders, including multiple winners Eddy Merckx of Belgium and Jacques Anquetil of Frnace. However, no French and Belgian riders have won the race since 1974 and 1983 respectively.

On a personal note, my wish for this year's race is that it concludes without doping allegations and restores a bit of the respect and luster it once held.
