What do you mean by the Pronotour? Ive never heard of it, so perhaps it has another, more common name?

This is my least favorite time on 606. As TdF roll on we get all these idiots here commenting about something they have no F&$^ clue about. Go back to your CLEAN football or whatever your sport, we have no interest in your nonsense.

Pronotour was (is) a competition that in previous years you could enter from www.letour.fr

You had to choose the top 5 in each stage. Prizes were awarded on a daily basis and there were prizes for the best 10 overall. Unfortuneately you need a French address to win a prize.
There was however a table published showing your relative position against the other tipsters.
I do not recall seeing Nuvolari1 in these listings but perhaps he had another name then.
As Rosbif i finished 1st equal once (ties were decided on earliest posting) but got nothing.

From what I can gather it's a fantasy cycling contest run by PMU (green jersey sponsor) during the tour. The prono means pronostic, or forecast. It should be hosted on pronotour.com, yet the website seems to be taken down.

So in answer to your query jambo, it's most likely not happening. I'm glad I looked into this though, would have been fun to enter.

And Nuvolari, I do hope that was sent by mistake (as it also appears on a doping thread), as his query was genuine.
