 Stage races are cycling races spread over several consecutive one-day contests. The Tour de France, the Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta a Espana all span three weeks; the Deutschland Tour and the Tour de Suisse are at the top of the next category, both lasting ten days. The overall winner of a stage race is the one who completes the individual stages in the least possible time. In addition to the overall title, in stage races there are also titles for mountain cycling, sprint cycling or individual stages as well as titles for the best teams, the best young professionals or the most combative riders. The world’s oldest stage race is the Tour de France, first held in 1903. In 1908 and 1909, Belgium and Italy followed the example of the French, hosting a national tour in the form of a stage race. The Deutschland Tour has been in existence – with some interruptions – since 1911.
