The Tour De France and Formula 1 are HUGE ratings draws in England ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012...r-de-france-tv, http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012...-grand-prix-4m)
I bet 90% of Canadians have no idea that a Canadian won the Giro D'Italia which is the same level as the tour.

Why are you referencing the world cup? How is that relevant? Should I reference the attendance at the Vancouver Olympics?
Now about that guarantee you made regarding cricket and rugby, how do you explain the 3,000 person attendance for their domestic league?
Btw, England hosted a number of the games at the 1999 World Cup, something you'd know if you had any interest in doing any research.
