Match these common TdF words to the English description.

So, you know ‘bonjour’, but can you match these descriptions of common cycling scenarios and words to their proper French phrases? Time to head back to school for this French-themed cycling quiz!

Alors, est-ce qu’on se souvient des cours de Français GCSE/O-Level? Bienvenu au Coin de Quiz road.cc.

Right then, class. Who can remember their GCSE/O-Level French lessons? Welcome to road.cc Quiz Corner.

This is a brilliant quiz and unusually for us, you might actually learn something slightly useful.

road.cc Quiz Corner - Can you name the top 10 Tour de France GC from 2010 to 2019?

The aim is to take the English description of a common feature of the Tour de France and then match it up to the actual French word. We think some are rather simple, but others are really tricky.

As seen in the Tour de France: Seven affordable* pro race bikes from Cannondale, Giant, Pinarello, Canyon, Specialized and Trek

No getting outside help from a French-speaker, or taking a sticky bottle from your old text books!

Allons-y, on commence!
