Now that's funny.
In seriousness, I think this is a story of the man and not nationalities, especially since 7 years ago he was recovering from cancer and they thought he'd never ride competiitively again.

I never took it as a nationalistic thing till I heard the trash the Phrench were talking about him.
F' THEM ALL. Maybe they preferred the swastikas on the Champs Elysees to the Stars and Stripes?
Well done Lance. Indomitable spirit. You are a champion in every sense of the word.
