Tour de Forza Series Grand Finale, Etappe 10 Geneva-Paris

The Tour de Forza Series has come to an end.
The starts from Geneva and ends at the Champ Elysees.
After many great suffers and hard city guesses, the torcher has come to an end. The guessers have travelled all the way through Europe and guessed in 9 different countries under the huge pressure of the fans and press.

A little overview


Some things are clear. Kuesel is going to win the maillot vert and the maillot pois. But there still fights for the second and third place.
Barra, Djoez and Kuesel can still win the Maillot Jaune but Kuesel got some seconds ahead. The winner of the yellow yersey will get a price, which is still a suprise.

After the Tour de Forza series, I will start a new competition.
There are 3 pictures of cities. Only 2 of them are of the same city, guess the correct city and picture that doesn't fit in.
More at the start of this new series.

The last city+40 seconds for the city, +60 seconds for the country


The mountain, a extreme hard one 5 points


The river 2 points (if someone else than Kuesel, Djoez or Eusebius guess it, there will be a final river guess)

River - Bonito looks VERY similar, but I though it isn't Argentina or Venezuela?

Hint for the river: I've swum there about 2 meters away from the waterfall (which was prohibited) in my shorts, forgot my swimming pants . When I was here the water was full of people.

3. I've never left Europe.

Am I the only one guessing this TdF???

Okay, the weather conditions... so I was right in post 6? Maybe it's in South Australia, there was a lot of snow this week, I saw the pics on TV. If not South Africa?

Mountain: if Chad and Lybia were close but it's not IN them, and also not Hoggar and Sudan is further, then Niger?

If the river is in Europe then South France by the vegetation... doesn't have to be always Portugal
