  1. 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!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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.
  6. Sorry for the delay in posting but I've been busy. Yes, you're correct Pajaholic - 'ding!'.
  7. Bees 'waggle dance' in their hives to indicate the distance and direction of food sources. It's also a rather nice beer.
  8. I first thought it was a type of chicken but then had my doubts and was glad I googled it! (capon).
  9. 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.
  10. 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).
  11. No, not Canada - one of their neighbours (and it's been mentioned already).
  12. Or even the northern hemisphere (!). No, not that. Further north.
  13. 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?
