Bing Homepage Quiz Answers (7/1/2022): 1 July 2022
1: The Tour de France begins today here in the bike-crazed capital city of Denmark. Where are we?
A Aarhus
B Amsterdam
C Copenhagen
The Danish capital has more bicycles than people, part of a long national effort to promote cycling and reduce auto pollution as part of its green energy movement. A 2019 study published by the city of Copenhagen says that 62% of all citizens commuted to work, school, or university by bike every day.
The correct answer is Copenhagen.
2: What color is the jersey worn by the leader of the Tour de France?
A Yellow
B Polka dot
C Green
During the three weeks of the Tour de France, it’s always easy to spot the race leader in the ‘maillot jaune.’ The yellow jersey was introduced in 1919 by then-director Henri Desgrange to make it easier for the increasingly growing crowds to spot the front-runner. Before that, the leader would wear a hardly noticeable green armband.
The correct answer is Yellow.
3: Which American rider survived a hunting accident and then two years later pulled off one of the most improbable feats in Tour history?
A Greg LeMond
B Lance Armstrong
C Evel Knievel
The year following his first Tour championship in 1986, LeMond was accidentally shot by his brother-in-law on a turkey hunt and reportedly was within 20 minutes of bleeding to death. But LeMond returned to the Tour in 1989 and erased a whopping 50-second deficit in the final stage of the race to defeat Laurent Fignon. He also won the next race in 1990.
The correct answer is Greg LeMond.
