Abstract

The Tour de France, the most important competition in cycling, was disputed for many years by national teams, instead of the current comercial teams. We analyze in this article the different reasons (ecnomic, symbolic and political) that led the Tour´s organization to this risky decisión, and which was the evolution of that.
