Cycling
The Tour de France was instituted by the newspaper L'Auto in 1903.[4][5] The paper was closed after World War II because of its links with the occupying Germans and a new paper, L'Équipe, took over.[6][7] L'Équipe organised the Tour and in 1965 the newspaper was acquired by Émilien Amaury. L'Équipe organised the race until it was taken over by its parent company, ASO. Template:Asof, ASO claimed to be the world leader in bicycle race organisation with 132 days of competition each year.[8]
