Tour Med Might Not Be Cancelled

I do love this sport sometimes, don't you? Races are cancelled, then, maybe they're uncancelled. Doping cases go for a hundred years or more. It's all so charming, really.

Anywho, according to a report at VeloNation, the Tour Méditerranéen may yet be saved. As these things often do, the problem involves a dispute over money. I confess, I can't make heads or tails of it, myself. But the lovely people over at VeloNation have done it for me, so if you're interested in the details, do head over and have a read.

Bottom line? Race might be on. Or, race might not be on. We just don't really know yet.

I don't care.

No, wait—I do. Then again, I don’t. Hmm, maybe I do…

Here I go being pedantic again

But it’s “Tour Méditerranéen.” There’s no “de”

Did they took "De" away as coast cutting measure?

Looks like it is didn’t help them that mach! :)
