Recently, of course, the fact that Lance has been winning *in France*
has been scoring points with some of the less intellectual Americans.

How could anyone be impressed by beating a bunch of cheese-eating surrender
monkeys? :-)

I don't even know if there are any French in the race; the top
competition is Spanish, Italian, German and American, with a few
Aussies, Dutch, and Russians thrown into the mix.

There are lots. Today's Maillot Jaune is the French National
Champion.

The French are in an awful Tour de France slump, though.
