Chris Willemse Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I believethat the Tour de France has a new name. " Tour de Lance" Its not about the bike - Its about the stimulant.
TheV Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) I believe that the Tour de France has a new name. " Tour de Lance" Its not about the bike - Its about the stimulant. I see what you did there... you made a play with words.... and you did it twice, once with the name of the famous cycle tour, and a second time with the name of his autobiography... very clever... hahaha What's not so funny is the damn mess pro cycling is in... We (our company) used to invest in an advertising package for the Tour on DSTV every year... the last 2 years we even super sized to an HD package... I can already tell you that next year we will not be advertising... it's sad.. and not funny at all... Edited October 24, 2012 by TheV
GoLefty!! Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 On renaming cycle tours, Why is the August Cycle Tour held in March? Karooryder, 428 others and HowellingWulf 3

There are scandals in all sports. Life moves on and people forget.
Heckflosse Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I believethat the Tour de France has a new name. " Tour de Lance" Its not about the bike - Its about the stimulant.Lol
G-Unit Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 The 'Tour de Pharmacy' joke has been around for a while.
BLACKvoodoo Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 It's like the gay parade in CT but just more gay...
RudoJ Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) So why are you not going to advertise? Are people going to stop watching TDF? There are scandals in all sports. Life moves on and people forget.I would like to think their reasoning behind the decision not to advertise, is all about company image and ethics? If i had a company that had a product/service that could be advertised during the TdF, I would also not do it, taking recent developments and revelations into account. Its tough times out there and customers might associate the company's product with a sport fueled by stimulants. But then again ,and I HATE it when I contradict myself, it would probably be the case for most professional sports anyways. I would like to get the reasoning behind the V's company decision. wonder if they dope in chess and darts? Edited October 25, 2012 by RudoJ

DJR Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 At the moment it looks like The Tour De Frowns (with all the angry and sad faces around).
TALUS Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I thought controvercy normally helps the advertisers - more publicity (eg Nando's)
