though it has been done before, the tour de france next year will go outside of france to stage the launch of the tour de france 2007. n’importe quoi! whatever. why the hell is it called the tour de france if it starts in england!? i have nothing against london, in fact, i used to live there and it’s one of my favorite cities in the whole world – but c’mon.

it doesn’t make too much sense to start it outside of FRANCE…if it is the Tour de France…

its been called Tour de France for a long time and it doesn’t even really matter the name. its not the end of the world about the name. and besides if they changed it it would mess everything up.
