The New York Times has created a great interactive map showing the individual stages of the Tour de France. It can be found here. It evolves along with the race so the the map is updated with new info after every stage. Check it out.
Try to avoid linking to the word "here" or - even worse "click here." It's not a good practice, because Internet users often skim text for links, and "here" conveys no information to them whatsoever. This is a particular problem for people with visual impairments who rely on screen reader tools to get them through the content. Imagine if they're trying to find a particular link and software keeps repeating "here, here, here." It's always better to create a link for the noun or verb you're referencing. So if the NY Times has created a great interactive map, use that text as the link, since that's where it's most relevant.
