A Tale of Three Flags

[RedheadDane]

I must protest at this blatant disfavouring of my nation!
If you go to the CN front page, and scroll down to the - still rather weirdly ordered - list of races and results, you'll notice something:
The Vuelta, which starts in Utrecht, has a Dutch flag.
The Giro, which starts in Budapest, has a Hungarian flag.
The Tour, which starts in Copenhagen, has a French flag! Last time I checked, Denmark had not - in fact - been invaded by France.

Consistency, people, consistency.

Also: It's Sønderborg, not Sønbergborg.

Check again: August 1807.

Although I thought it had been resolved by now...

Actually it was England who invaded Copenhagen in order to take possession of the Danish fleet which was fairly large. That they did, which forced Denmark into the war as an ally of Napoleon. Had France invaded Denmark France would have most likely surrendered, being France and all that.

Aah... I thought someone had accidentally written that next year's Tour was gonna take place in August 1807...
