Tour de France -- a Question

Riddle me this, Batman -- if it's the Tour de France, why are we racing in Spain today?

Just askin', is all!

It's because of the tight cycling shorts. The leading cyclist got a little wozzy due to restricted circulation and took a wrong turn.

And you know how it is in Europe-just follow the leader without asking any questions.

BTW Robin, I think it's time to get rid of our tights.
(stop your dirty thoughts-refer to the previous comment)

I'm not sure if this is a serious question. However, treating it as such, the modern Grand tours, perhaps driven by EU ideas, have commonly had stages outside of their country, the Giro sent into Austria this year. In the past the French tour started in the UK, had stages in Belgium and Germany and so on.

It's just not very unusual anymore.

Hi, Mark! It wasn't a real question, sorry -- I'm just being difficult. ;-)

But it's so much fun to watch the Tour, no matter where it goes.
