Lance and the French
Quote | Reply
Just wanted to let you know that the French Sport Newspaper "L'Equipe" published this morning the results of a poll. To the question "Who do you regard as the greatest "Tour de France" rider of all times", the French answered as follows:

Lance 30%

Eddy 18%

The Badger 12%

Not too Jingoiistic I'm afraid...The French are still fond of the Cannibal, so it should be quite a long time before they forget Lance!

Part of the US media may have a business encouraging US citizens hating the French (just like part of the French media has a business encouraging the French hating the US) but I do not think one may say the French hate Lance. Period.

not to mention that Lance himself kept saying during the Tour that there were so many people encouraging him and that of course there are a few idiots, but it's the same everywhere...

As for the French hating the US...then I wonder why the poll I have seen last year asking if the French still believed in the 'American dream' and liked the US, had more than 75% yes...
