I concur with speakers-corner. I have the feeling it's slightly longer this year, if my recollection of what was said on the rest day programme on ITV last night is correct. I do know that they've already covered half distance so far this year in 9 of 21 stages - rather them than me! -

I don't know, perhaps they do. I think they're referred to a 'bidon', so if you see that on a French language listing page, then you know they do. I did find this though. -

So was I. I wondered how many, having seen a veritable cascade of them heading onto the roadside verges during the highlights of a recent day's stage, so checked it out. It's fact 2 here. -

Here's one you can all have a go at. A 'nearest the bull' (sort of) type question. Still on the Tour De France theme. You've all seen the riders taking on new water bottles numerous times during a stage, chucking the old bottle one away. To the nearest 500, how many water bottles are expected to be used during this year's Tour? -

The green jersey is worn by the leader of the points classification. As most of the points available in it are awarded for stage wins and also a lesser amount for intermediate sprints, it's often held by a sprinter - a case in point being the current holder this year, Mark Cavendish of Dimension Data. -

Bees 'waggle dance' in their hives to indicate the distance and direction of food sources. It's also a rather nice beer. -

Given my question I'm assuming the letters bear no relation to the city or location/area which the airport in question serves,but I'll have to have a think about it. -

It's Greenland and I'll award the 'ding!' to radicalmm. 'KN' stands for the name of the country, 'Kalaallit Nunaat' ("land of the Kalaallit"), in Greenlandic (Kalaallisut). -

When you see a car on the roads that's from another country, it's supposed to have a white oval shaped badge with a specific letter/two/three letters on it. My question is: - if you saw a car with a badge showing the letters 'KN', which country would it be from? -
