| #3 Didn't y'all read the article? As it was (though his domestic fans may not know this) he quietly opposed the war being waged by his friend and fellow Texan, President Bush. ''It's wrong," Armstrong said, ''to go to the front without the support of Europe." Not necessarily for that reason, relations between him and the French, press and public alike, have mellowed, and if he's not quite loved here, he inspires something near affectionate - and awed - respect. |

| #2 Sports Illustrated put out a nice commemorative issue detailing Lance's career. At one point they describe him donning a tshirt with the slogan: "Texas is bigger'n France." Heh. |

| #1 Watching Lance dominate the French at their own game is somewhat satisfying for some reason. Stiking them at their core is very apealing. |
