Probably a combination of both to a certent extent. As a citzen of France, I can imagine that it would be easy to root against an athlete from another country (Armstrong) who dominates an annual sport in France.
An American Journalist, Tony Kornheiser, made a valid point when he mentioned that journalists in the U.S attack American athletes about alleged steroid use. He then followed by saying something along the lines as why is it hard to believe that French journalists do the same.
About the race, I hope Armstrong wins a record 6th title!
