you do know "de" means "of" and not "day" or perhaps it's just a pun???

Ah, guess I'm not a big enough dork because I didn't get the joke. Heh.

No it is because they run all the stages during the day. No night riding.

I have changed it back due to a couple of complaints. I did find it comical as I really find it funny how butchered the french language is. I don't personally know anything about the specifics of the above change beyond what was told me.

Cheers,

Tour de France :D

I'm sorry, I didn't want the name changed just because I didn't get the joke. I usually just read through this forum and rarely take part in it myself.

Bob annoys me to no end, but having him at the Tour is still funny. He was a good racer, and is a very smart analyst..but his redneck commentary style....jeez...It used to make me just CRINGE whenever I would hear his purposeful butchering of "TOUR DAY FRANCE", but after a while it was comical...and now his trademark..

He is not butchering it because he doesn't know any better...He does it because he DOES know better. Funny :)

Come on change the name back :)
