Not a guide, but the book I got the best idea about what cycling was
really like was Paul Kimmage's" A Rough Ride"

Sprinter by Malcolm Elliott was also fabulous but would be hard to
find.

Buy that book by Bob Roll "The Tour De France Companion". It's less than
$9 (US) at Amazon.com and it's purpose is to explain how the race works to
people who are just starting to follow the Tour.

(Of course, I'm assuming that's what you want. If you already have an idea
of how the Tour works and actually want the RULES then the other links
suggested will be better.)

Here is the rules.
About 190 racers start the rest, try to win stages, moutains jersey, points
jersey or yellow jersey, but at the end, Lace wins always it.! :-)

Seriously, there is not much complicated rules.
Basically , the time to do each stages is added and the one with the lowest
time, won the Tour.
