New to this whole bike racing thing, ony ever heard of the TdF before this spring when people started talking about something called the Giro - thought that was helmets!

This "the dauphine" is a bike race?

NOT the future queen of France?

Kind of like the TdF?

And it's GUYS?
(when I realized what "we" were talking about here, I thought, hey, a womens race that seems to be famous!)

Shouldn't a guy race be "the dauphin" ???

Or does the guy who wins "the Dauphine" get the next queen of France as his prize ,
and if so, who IS she these days?
Do they still have one?
( or does HE get to be the queen of France? )

Beautiful play on words...yes, the fight for/to be the queen of France! Shared this with several people--they loved it, too!
