It’s Fun Word Friday: Tour de France Version!
This is the last weekend of the Tour de France. Let’s finish up strong with a few more Tour Terms we’ve learned this racing season.
la flamme rouge: the red triangle marker that is a kilometre from the finish.
la lanterne rouge: the last rider.
à bloc: riding as hard as you possibly can and going all out.
bonk: to lose all your energy, usually from overexertion and a lack of food or fluid.
hammerfest: a ride where everyone grinds (rides in a hard gear and really pushes).
