Le Tour de France eilen ja tänään - Esitelmä Annantalon auditoriossa (Annankatu 30, Helsinki) 16.5.2019 klo 16.30 - vapaa pääsy

tour 1.jpg

Ranskan ympäriajo  Le Tour de France, on maailman tunnetuin vuosittain järjestettävä pyöräilykilpailu. Se ajettiin ensimmäisen kerran vuonna 1903 ja on siitä lähtien järjestetty joka vuosi paitsi maailmansotien aikana 1915–1918 ja 1940–1946.  Kolmiviikkoisen kilpailun reitti vaihtelee, sen pituus on 3000-4000 km.

tour2.jpg

Tommi Wallenius on pyöräilyn harrastaja. Hän on tutkinut maineikkaan tapahtuman historiaa ja nykypäivää. Ympäriajo on herättänyt intohimoja, ja sen historiaan mahtuu sankaruutta ja skandaaleja, hurmosta ja tragediaa. Wallenius kertoo ”Tourin” monipolvisista vaiheista ja sen nykyisistä haasteista
