I dunno maybe it's just here in Quebec, But maillot in frenglais (french canadian version of french

) means bikini or a bathing suit

I'm not french so I can't be 100% sure, but still funny from my perspective calling him the yellow bikini

Hes great.

Tour de Freedom (aka Tour de France

) is IMHO the most exiting and interesting sport event that lasts more than one day. These guys are unbelievable and Lance is their epitome.

Having an American win the Tour de France partly makes up for having a 110-lb Japanese guy win all our hotdog eating contests.

When you watch someone who can do something very well, it is very interesting.

After once taking a full weekend to put up a brick veneer on a wall in my kitchen, I watched a pro bricklayer do about the same amount of work in about 2 hours, and do a better job than I did. My respect for bricklayers has increased since then.

Every cyclist in the tour is better than any of us imagine. Cycling against Lance would be like playing one-on-one against a 30 year old Jordan, and MJ could probably still beat any three of us.

I used to ride in century rides (100mile cycling events)
My best time was 5hrs.
thats 20miles an hour for 5 hours.
Now to put this in perspective Lance would average somewhere around 30-34mph and he is doing it sometimes twice a day for 3 weeks.
thats takes some kind of Gutts!!!
My comment about him not having any nutt's.
Well think about it i think it makes he's tour even harder.
He has no natural production of testosteron!!
I't simply blows me away how this guy who was so close to death with testecular and brain cancer could come back and compete at the highest levels in what might be the worlds hardest endurence event.
I Admire him Greatly!!
Now Lance kick some Frenchy prettythang
