Nairo Quintana is a five-star favorite to win the Tour de France.Doug Pensinger/Getty Images. The world's premier bicycle race, the Tour de France, starts July 4, and there are four big favorites to win it. Three of them have won the Tour before: Spain's Alberto Contador, in 2007 and 2009; Kenyan-born UK rider Chris Froome, in 2013; and Italy's Vincezno Nibali, the defending champion. The fourth favorite has never won the race: Colombia's Nairo Quintana.
The modern editions of the Tour de France consist of 21 day-long segments (stages) over a 23-day period and cover around 3,500 kilometres (2,200 mi). The race alternates between clockwise and counterclockwise circuits of France. The number of teams usually varies between 20 and 22, with nine riders in each.
