A big day today as the 100th edition of the Tour de France gets underway. This year for the first time the cyclists will start the race on the mediterannean island of Corsica.
People all over the world will be staying up late, or even all night to watch the beautiful aerial images as the race covers the hexagon, and finally arrives on the Champs Elysée in Paris.
The first race took place in 1903, and although the equipment and the clothes may have changed over the years, the enthusiasm of the crowds only seems to grow.
How about you? Are you one of the international fans
who'll be losing sleep over the next couple of weeks?
