Tour de France 2022 Tour de France Start List

[postmanhat]

I think that is during the race. But before the race it's mandatory to provide a negative test:
"two days before the start of the race, presentation of at least one negative antigen test for all members of the teams (riders and staff)"

On topic. FDJ announce that Pinot and Kung have tested negative, following their positives, just after the Tour De Suisse

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

His name is 'Jensen'! How much more Danish can you get?

In that case there are no Belgians (all either French or Dutch), no South Americans (Mainly Spanish, some Portuguese or Italian names), no US or Australians (names from all over, but not native ones) and Kristoff would be Russian, Benjamin Thomas would be Welsh, etc etc etc

I'm not saying that you have to have a surname typical for your country to be from that country. However, when you do have a surname typical for your country, you obviously can't be from another.

Report from Tivoli:

Hottest day of the year. Thank God someone invented the cold beer.

No, man. There are no Dutch, they all are Flemings.
No Slovenians either.

What are you doing in Ljubljana?

I remember when following the Tour meant looking for the size 6 print in the results section of the newspaper the following morning to see the previous days' top three plus what position the British riders had finished.

In the US west coast in the 80’s (when Lemond started competing) local papers did not carry any results but the NY Times (which I could buy at a city newsstand) usually carried the top 3 or top 10 with their times in the statistics page, but there was no description or summary until the weekend. I remember trying to recreate how a mountain stage might have unfolded by looking at the time gaps.

As long as there's Chris O'Jensen Ireland has a representative.

Ah, I didn't notice yer man from Co. Wicklow was on the BEX team.

 

[perico]

Young whippersnapper. I am pushing 40 with my first tour being around 1991/1992.

In my 40s and following yearly since 1983/84

I thought it would have been more like Geraint Thomas being French; Norman conquests and all that.

 

[Sciatic]

I thought it would have been more like Geraint Thomas being French; Norman conquests and all that.

But wait, the Normans derived from a Germanic tribe so . . .

 

[RedheadDane]

So, it's confirmed that Jungels will start?

 

[Carrick-On-Seine]

But wait, the Normans derived from a Germanic tribe so . . .

Which probably came from the Indian sub continent.
Truly a global sport!

 

[postmanhat]

But wait, the Normans derived from a Germanic tribe so . . .

Via Scandinavia though? Feels like the circle is almost complete?

From Wikipedia:
Thomas is a common surname of English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, French, German, Dutch, and Danish origin.

So that's two more Danes on the startlist!

 

[Pantani_lives]

No, man. There are no Dutch, they all are Flemings.

Names with ae or ck are typically Flemish. E.g. Van Aert, De Vlaeminck, Planckaert...

What about those ckx names, like 'Merckx'? Makes them seem very angry.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Well done Primoz, interviewer trying to ask hard hitting questions thinking he's David Frost or something to an overwhelmed 12 year old in front of his home crowd.

 

[BR2]

Really? Come from the German Dutch border, names with ae are quite common among people and places there.

Well done Denmark. Well done. Today Copenhagen proved they are the capital of cycling.

Chapeau!

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Covid is hitting UAE again: Trentin out of the Tour. If it tramsmits further we will witness the most epic Tour ever asking ourselves: who will give a victory to who on MTFs?

 

[Tonton]

Names with ae or ck are typically Flemish. E.g. Van Aert, De Vlaeminck, Planckaert...

So if Remco was the new Merckx he would be Remcko?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

No, man. There are no Dutch, they all are Flemings.

Or, to quote Monty Python, Phlegms
