Continental has supplied road bike tires to six teams competing in this year's Tour de France. From July 4 to 26, over a quarter of the peloton will ride on tires made at Continental's Korbach plant in Hesse, Germany. More than 1,000 road bike tires will be used over the course of the three-week event, with every tire produced and tested in Korbach. Teams riding on Continental tires at the 113th Tour de France include Groupama-FDJ United, UAE Team Emirates - XRG, Movistar Team, Bahrain-Victorious, Decathlon CMA CGM and Uno-X Mobility. The race spans 21 stages and 3,333 kilometers, starting in Barcelona, Spain, and finishing on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, France. "The trust placed in us by the six teams is both an honor and an incentive. The Tour is decided by the smallest details: on every stage, in every kind of weather and on every surface. That is why we put so much time and effort into developing our tires in close collaboration with the professional racing teams. And ultimately, recreational riders benefit as well," said Hannah Ferle, Continental product expert for bicycle tires.
