Whoops, didn't saw this!  I'm very sorry, next time I won't use it, I promise!
I already thought it was too easy to answer the questions, stupid me 
Spoiler Just give me 3/10 or so for now, I knew the answer to Q1, Q3 and Q6 
Indeed difficult for those without much cycling history knowledge.. |

Who cares?  I've guessed at least 5-6 answers as well 
Do you watch German Eurosport for Cycling? The only reason I at least know what a bidon is  I love Jean-Claude Leclercq |

I didn't use Google for answers, I used Wikipedia.
Spoiler But serious, if you don't count the ones that I used Google, only count the Milan San-Remo, and the bidon question. |

Dont you grow up learning french in Belgium? So bidon wouldn't be too difficult either
I sent my answers as well for the fun of it. 2006 tour winner was probably the easiest for me too. More than two points would be a big suprise/ luck, though |

It depends on who of the two winners is the right answer.
But guys, i think it is obvious interwebz are forbidden here, it would have no sense, everybody who is able to use it, would have 10/10.
Those are the people who were not forced to do their homeworks without the internet.

Well yes, I meant for everybody else Obviously the bidon question was a piece of cake for me We actually use it in our dialect, West-Flemish We never use another word, I don't even know how it's called in Dutch

No spoilers but I think we can say there's only one - the real - winner now! 
I was just lucky the german eurosport expert is a french native and uses some french words from time to time

Umm yes thats quite weird I dont know the exact length but I wouldnt miss it by 60 km cause its quite famous for the approximate length it has
Btw Isn't the route changed from time to time?

Surprising that for a 'cycling' forum so many people made basic errors...
Miguel98 was by far the best, only missing out on Pamela Anderson
MacC crashed early, scoring 1 with the water carrier.
No-one managed to score all 10, with most of you netting a solid 6-7. Hopefully you all know more about the game this is a forum for...
If you want more information let me know, as i want to make this as good as i can

Basic errors? These were far from the basic questions, as i for example know at least who Phil Ligget is, i cant have a clue about how long he is commnetator just from my head. (as i was watching czech eurosport in 95% of cycling coverage).
Also never heard of madison name origin and Cippo handlebars, i cant even find it with google now.
But two answers i shoud have known and i failed were Darrigade,because of Cavendish beating his record and first Giro winner, i mixed him with Bugno...
