Is the Tour de France a Road Bike Race?
There's apparently been a lot of contention on this utterly confusing :rolleyes: definition of the Tour de France here on the "Road Bike Racing" board. So...

why did they make a dedicated forum for the tour de france if it was supposed to just be posted about in road bike racing instead?

I have no idea, but are you saying that you actually tell people on the street that the TDF is not a road race because bikeforums.net has a "dedicated" board for it?

LOL. OK, explain to me why there were ZERO complaints about all the Giro threads in "Road Bike Racing" but when it's the TDF, suddenly it's not a road race?

For those of us who can't see the live coverage in the morning and can't watch streaming video while at work, the spoilers that you seem to enjoy posting in this forum are very annoying. Is that so hard to grasp? I really enjoy riding home, getting cleaned up, making dinner and sitting down to watch the coverage fresh even if it is a replay.
As to your point about the Giro, we weren't lucky enough to have TV coverage of every stage of the race, so I (and I'm sure many others) followed the race online during the day. |

The Tour de France isn't just a "Road Race", but a three-week-long spectacle that's only marred by one rest day this year (not counting yesterday's stage).
That said, I really don't care where the threads go - as long as I can find them. |
And the objection to putting TDF threads in the TDF forum would be?
