No thread would be complete without somebody putting a turd in the punchbowl.

Just awesome. I was lucky enough to be there for win #4, and it was truly an experience to remember. American flags everywhere, fans from other nations cheering Lance on.

easy to pick out of the pack in his leader's yellow jersey

Only in France would the leader wear a "yellow" jersey. Their next favorite jersey color is white.

Now, I recall last year when he won, the soreloser Frenchies came up with some new twist on this years race. I don't remember specifically. The course was going to be altered perhaps, or some new "rules" instigated.....for the explicit purpose of putting Armstrong at a disadvantage of course, although that was never stated it was pretty obvious.

FReepers last year remarked that Lance would just come up with a way to train around it (I believe it might have been something with the course or the way the days races are run). And it seems as though Lance did exactly that!

GOOD FOR YOU LANCE ARMSTRONG!! Although perhaps your real name should be Legstrong! Oh, and one more thing.....


Phuck Phrance!!

Prairie BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

That's the wife-dumping lump who pedals his little bicycle around France in an incredibly boring and useless exercise?

Is this where I'm supposed to exclaim "My hero!"?
