Yeah, I know Alan, it is always just a few jerks who don't represent the
majority. However, on the whole, the reporting from France is that most of
the country does not like him... and really hate his winning so many times.
They express this often in many different non-sportsmanlike gestures,
events, writings, broadcasts, etc.  It's okay to have pride in one's country
and a special race, and so on... but most of them are over the edge on Lance
and the Tour. It's not just national pride this time, but the backlash
against Americans not buying their products as much these days and purposely
boycotting some of their companies. Lance does not hold much favor over
there. The spitting was really _not_ just a few fans... it was an outgrowth
of the whole situation.  Too bad, I used to love French toast. :-)
