Tour de France 2004 - Final Week: The disgrace of the French

The good news for France is that Frenchmen are enjoying their best
Tour in a decade - particulary as a determined young Frenchman, the
current maillot jaune Thomas Voeckler has kept the yellow jersey for
far longer than any thought possible.

Race favourite Lance Armstrong commented on the matter during a post
13th stage interview. "Well, yellow traditionally is associated with
cowardice, ...so in a way actually, it's good that a Frenchman has
worn the jersey for most of the race.... But he shouldn't count on
wearing wearing anything by the final stage - except a soiled diaper"

Indeed, Lance is expected to take over leadership of the race for good
after the next stage of any noteworthy difficulty, on July 20th.

Added Lance, "I doubt the French could beat me, even if they were
using recumbents, which, I think, well obviously, are more suited to
their style."

Come on - it's just cycling, a sport.
Don't disgrace yourself.

Some Americans seem to have developed a heavy hostility against everything
and everybody French. I wonder why. - The Iraq war?

Armstrong is a known Bush supporter, but I have not before seen him quoted
for a statement like this. Are you sure he actually said it?

Oops. Stop you there.

Why do you make this stuff up and post it? Lance said nothing
of the sort. I watched his interview both on OLN and French
TV feeds and he never said anything like this.
Malev, I don't know who you are, but you are a piece of crap.
