Hear, hear!
And I equally love the fact that they haven't done anything so pretentious - and plain daft as far as I can see - as to call it the Tour de Britain ;-) Can you imagine any Spaniard in his right mind abandoning Spanish for part of its name and calling his beloved Vuelta a Espa�a the Vuelta d' Espa�a? or Flemings calling the Ronde van Vlaanderen the Ronde de Vlaanderen? Might as well start using German and call the TdF the Tour von France.
