never been fixed."Klueless Noobie" <[email hidden]> a écrit dans le message de

Same reason the Indy 500 always takes place in Indianapolis.

So why was Woodstock held in Bethel?

Because it's a Tour of France. Although they go through other neighboring European countries.

Clue #1: What is the name (not some abbreviation)? As Bob Roll would say it is the "tour day
frantz" afterall.Stages have been held elsewhere.
As cool as it sounds to have a North American stage, it was impractical before and less so now for
the security reasons that some place will throw up and the difficulty of getting from NA to
France---with the SST offline, you are talking 8 hours of flying time (from the east coast) and that
really screws your sleep up so the first few days would be a joke.I would rather see our own stage race...

Sure. But perhaps the prologue could work here. It's largely symbolic after all, essentially run
strictly to pick a yellow jersey wearer. And it could be separated from stage 1 by two days to deal
with jet lag and logistics.--
