I was amazed that the tour organizers permit those loonies to hang flags in the road, run along beside the riders -- last weekend, there was even one drunkard patting Lance on the back for a bit -- WTF? Apparently, if a rider gets "pushed" (a la the "back patter"), it could even disqualify the push-ee!
Fucking French.
