Default floyd ruined the tour

what he did is worst than Armstrong did, and Greg Lemon should be sad to see
all that.
Armstrong was too snob to be liked, but Floyd is hypocrit, he said all day
long that he was educated like a memonnite and that he didn't care about TV
and phone, he seems different and was funny with his uggly sunglasses of his
grandmother but now everyone is discusted because he betrayed everyone.
So Lemon will always remain the most popular american racer in Europe

Make that Lemond, and no I think most French people hate Lemond for
trying to steal Hinault's jersey in 1985, stealing it in 1986 and
stealing it from Fignon in 1989 !

it's not true and it's only you that use the word 'steal' while everyone
reckon he deserved to win. Lemon was stronger these years that's all. that
have never make him hated.
and Lemon was cool furthermore, like Stephen Roche, he wasn't snob.


HTF would you know ? French hate him and Americans hate him for his
own hatred of LA

.Anyway even Lemon and Floyd didn't like Lance, and his wife didn't stay
longer with him, so I think this guy have some problems with people, that's
all.




Ya know, you were there and I wasn't, but at the time we weren't
hearing that the French applauded and admired Lemond. In fact, I'd read
that when the French didn't misspell his name as you do, they would
pronounce it LE'mond (accent first syllable) to make quite clear that
there was nothing French about him.
It's certainly understandable that French fans of Hinault and Fignon
would favor them. But this is the first I'd ever heard that the French
had any love for Lemond.

You mean Anquetil was wrong? He thought the French hated him and he
was French. You can also see a few second place or support French
riders looking a bit grim and staring in the other direction when in
the same photos with him. If you are looking for at least a mild case
of paranoia, he was probably the star to start with. OTOH, he is also
probably the person to put on the Livedrunk(tm) poster.

Is that why he rode for a French team in the 90's?
