Tour de France – Cycling Playlist

July can be the month when most of us think about a quiet and relaxing afternoon at the beach. July can also be the month when we run away from the hustle and bustle of the city and head to the cliffs for a short break. What July is also known for - at least for cycling enthusiasts - is the unique and unsurpassed Tour de France.

July may be the month when most of us are contemplating a quiet and restful afternoon at the beach. July may also be the month when we run away from the city's confusion and head to the cliffs for a short break. What July is also known for - at least for the keen followers of cycling - is the one and only Tour de France.

Tour de France is an annual cycling spectacle held primarily in France and its first edition - known then as the world's greatest bicycle race - took place in 1903. Believe it or not, the Tour de France, the world's most recognized cycling event, started as a publicity stunt for a sports magazine. Since then, the Tour became one of the most popular sports events worldwide.

Since it is a bit too late to try to participate in the Tour de France, we suggest you try to keep it up - at least for a while - with this year's competitors. To help you achieve the perfect rhythm, we have prepared the perfect playlist for you.

Tour de France is a classical competition - that is why we decided to start with some classics. Start the race with the help of The Grateful Dead and The Doors. We keep the groove with the electro-punk of another classic band: Suicide, before definitely embracing the Tour spirit the help of Kraftwerk; this German band released, in 1983, the song "Tour de France" peaking at number 22 in the United Kingdom singles charts.

For the final sprint, we choose songs that will add the extra stamina you need: from Primal Scream to Altin Gun, LCD Soundsystem or Sensible Soccers we will cross the finish line hearing "Cyboogie" by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.
