TdF = Tours De France

It's a race for bicyclists around France. Lasts for 3 weeks and they do it in stages. This year they are going out of France for a bit into Spain I think. The winner gets a yellow t-shirt. Other little known facts include they can eat bananas whilst they are racing. Also, and Old Git will be along later to raise this in his daily briefing, it is not uncommon for some of the competitors to take performance enhancing drugs. That really is all you need to know for now. Apart from that there's a little clique of enthusiasts on here who know all the bike pilots by name and other technical stuff like which ones are on BMX's and which ones are on Unicycles but they tend to keep themselves to themselves really and don't f**k it up with endless posts about how clever they are by betting on the outcome. Seems you wandered into on of their threads by mistake there deebees. Be careful.
