Apparently someone asked Voeckler what his lead of more than 9 minutes over Armstrong meant. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Seriously, to even ask that question shows that you know nothing about how the grand tours work. You'd think that after 5 years of American hype around Lance that people would know a bit better.

Sad but true...but then again...i think that is arrogance on our part as a national collective in that it is a sport that is not respected here in the states like it is elsewhere. Most other countries do recognize and respect it as a world sport...here...it's just an annoying sport to many that reminds them of the bikers they try to take the pedals off while we're on the road training. I think most of u'll feel me on this perspective.
