Subject: RE: BS: Tour de France, Anyone?
You're porbably right Wolfgang, but the last few days were pretty tough for Armstrong. First of all, the Tour organizers publicly stated that this year's course was specifically designed to beat Armstrong. Talk about unsportsman like behavior. Add to that the stupid "fans" who he's had to littereally push away from him while he's racing, who have spit on him and who have yelled obscenities. Add to that Greg Lomond's pissy and envoius (I my opinon) statements about Armstrong being on drugs - so Armstrong is even getting attacked by the only other American biker that 90% of Americans have ever heard of.

Lance was a model of restraint in my mind.
