Off Topic Tour de Yorkshire thread...

Are you looking forward to the Jules Rimet invented Coup de Monde in 2018?

 

So no doubt would support our Egyptian owners changing our name to Hull المدينة ناد لكرة القدم.

 

They're not changing the name of anything though are they. It's a new event which is drawing it's name from another great sporting event with a top heritage. If they were changing the name of a 100 year old event called "The tour of Yorkshire" to "Tour de Yorkshire" I might see your point. Its like someone forming a new football club in Hull and drawing on the heritage of existing top clubs called it "Hull United".

 

One or two Sky riders down, and few others off at a sharp corner where the road had become wet.

 

If we use the previous logic then not if they were foreign owners its not.

 

It was originated by a Frenchman. A trophy was named in his honour after the war. The Jules Rimet Trophy was given to Brazil in 1974 and since then has been named The FIFA World Cup, which is what is inscribed on it.
What is the point you are trying to make?

 

I don't think logic works on internet forums. I'll just accept I like the concept and you don't.....

I'm also looking forward to the Stockholm Velothon later this year (and I'm not upset they didn't call it the Stockholm Cykellopp)

 

That he called it the Coup de Monde. I didn't mention trophies, don't know why you brought those up.

 

Maybe he called it the Coupe De Monde because he was French?

I will never stop using Ku De Ta. Never.

 

Didn't some one once say the French didn't have a word for entrepreneur? Mind you, he was denser even than some on here.

 

Just watched the end of the stage , really surprised at how big the crowds were in Scarborough , looks like a very successful event for all concerned

 

Bloody 'ell that takes me back a few years no waves crashing over the wall today though...is there still a water park at the other end of that road? Or even more nostalgic do they still have a naval battle between radio control boats and a guy playing a Wurlitzer on an island?
