People in the Tour de France, for example (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

race

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'people' is the first definition.
(people can mean a national group or race)

'tour de france for example' is the second definition.
(the Tour de France is a race)

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for race that I've seen before include "Rush" , "Care about contest" , "Run fast" , "Rapid current" , "Run, dash" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
