I just saw this in the paper at lunch time. Amazing. And the french are still bitter and claim he dopes. I thought he wasn't going to do it this year when he gave up the lead, but look at now. Dude is bad ass.

No Frenchman finished in the top 10 - quite a sorry state of affairs at the home of the Tour de France.

I read some very astute observations on Usenet yesterday by an ardent recreational bicyclist who has spent time in France, that bicycling is really losing in popularity in France while to the contrary it is increasing in popularity in the US. The French view the bicycle as a poor man's means of conveyance, while in the US, it is viewed as a rich man's toy. Moreover, the assessment is that the French bicycling teams have training techniques that are outmoded - no wonder they can't place anyone very high on the GC.
