So, you see all these ripped pro-cyclists on the Tour de France, tearing up and down mountains, tonking it through French countryside and going hell for leather through city streets on their custom-made, uber-expensive bikes and backed by a super-slick support team.
How about the average Joe sitting at home watch le Tour? Could they take a bike costing less than a grand - in this case, the Carrera Virago from Halfords - and ride 4 of the toughest stages of the Tour de France? Would they survive? How would the bike fare? Welcome to the Tour de Francis.
Could an amateur handle the toughest stages of the Tour de France, riding a carbon fibre bike you could get from Halfords for less than a grand?
Watch him take on Liege, Champagne, the Alps and Paris and see if he breaks.
