Did anybody complain when Eddie Merkx or Miguel Indurain dominated the Tour?

I wish we had American downhill and slalom skiers that could beat the Europeans more often. Or how about a winning Americna Grand Prix driver?

I'm surprised that Lance hasn't been attacked or assaulted by European fans or partisans.

They're not very sporting losers.

Heck, we don't complain when the French dominate in something.

(Of course, we never get the opportunity, but that is besides the point.).

Handball is a powerhouse here in America, again the French are so French.

We need to send them some freedom fries.

Live it up, Frenchies. When the muslims introduce Sharia rule, the only sport you'll get is polo with a sheep's head.

The American domination has become something of a sore subject, particularly in France. It is one thing for the French to be second-best to Italy, Spain or Germany - all great cycling nations - but to constantly finish behind a rider from America

So the Frogs are pissed that a Texan is beating them at their own game, non? Maybe they out to take a cue from the Texan and eat a friggin' steak every once in a while instead of clogging their colons with cheese....?

It is the difference between free cycling and socialized cycling. Plus, the French pedal backward.

Just wait 'til the U.S. wins the soccer World Cup someday (soon maybe), a sport that's almost a religion in the rest of the world but one most of the U.S. couldn't care less about. Then you'll really see Europe and the rest of the world go ballistic.

I can't wait. :-)

Thanks for the ping... great article! I'll ping my TDF list.

Can't wait to see Lance up on that podium in Paris on Sunday for the seventh time... ;-)

I have a theory.

Maybe you can't be competitive when you ride with your hands in the air...
