   I enjoyed watching this but the Tour de France seems to have so much ‘in speak’ which is fine if you are in the ‘in’ group. I see lots of talk about GC contenders, for example, and had no idea what the in crowd were taking about. Can you point peope towards http://www.bikeraceinfo.com/glossary.html, or create a similar reference yourself?

     It’s part of the allure of the Tour de France, those French language terms, which make you feel part of an exotic race By the way the Tour is going in 2012, perhaps the French will start using some more English terms in honour of Team Sky’s dominance? http://www.bikeraceinfo.com/glossary.html looks good link.

     I did these two:
