At 3,273.2 km, the 2002 Tour de France will be the fourth shortest Tour in history and the shortest since 1905. The race, however, will be nothing to sneer at. It will feature three individual time trials and a team time trial, along with six mountain stages with five high-altitude finishes. Twenty-one teams will compete for 2,500,000 euros in prize money. Stay tuned for lots of excitement as the riders and teams compete on the roads of France.
