TOUR's career began 40 years ago as a cycling magazine. Today, four decades later, the magazine from the Bielefeld-based publishing house Delius Klasing Verlag is the biggest racing bike magazine in Europe. The anniversary issue is now available postage free.
July 1977: The Tour de France, the biggest cycling event in the world, rolls through France. An institution, a part of French culture, a piece of national identity. This was the starting signal for a magazine that would offer plenty of reading material for both committed amateur cyclists and everyday cyclists. A successful magazine was born: RADmagazin.
A vision and its consequences
Forty years later, the former RADmagazin has gradually evolved into TOUR magazine, which has closely followed the path of cycling over the years and set international standards with its testing expertise. This is one of the reasons why TOUR is Europe's leading road cycling magazine today.
In addition to the most important stages from 40 years of cycling history, TOUR reports in its current anniversary issue on the heroes of the past and present, their greatest successes, but also on painful defeats and setbacks in professional cycling.
Anniversary competition with great prizes
In a big anniversary competitionThe magazine is giving away a custom-designed Specialized racing bike worth €9,000 as well as numerous other high-quality prizes as part of the "Specialised" theme, which is featured in the magazine throughout the year.
