And that, right there, is why Israel is now mad as fuck 

 

In their minds, it should be just called 'Jerusalem' (even though apparently the international community doesn't really accept it like that, since the East is apparently one of the many occupied Palestine areas), and because the Giro organizers named it as 'West Jerusalem' (which they did to stay away from political stuff) the Israeli government is now threatening to withdraw all support 

 

In the Netherlands, we would call this 'Calimero-behaviour', after a popular children's series. I just saw it is a Japanese/Italian series originally, so maybe you know it  

They changed it to "Jerusalem"... apparently they already had an alternative plan (start in Sicily, 3 more stages in Southern Italy), it would have been funny to see Froome's reaction .

 

Calimero was (and is) very famous for being the protagonist of TV commercials almost 60 years ago, when there were only 10 minutes of commercials per day and they never repeated the same one twice. (hello Eurosport).

The next? Surely they already mostly know where they will go next year, so a stage in Algeria would be in the plans for the 2019 or later?

But on a more serious note: does this article say 'a stage in Algeria is possible next year', or does it say 'if the Tour leaves Europe, it will be to Algeria'? Because that last one is what Google Translate seems to come up with  @Bohemia A little help?
