lance armstrong really is the man...

not only does he pull off a stage victory by half-a-bike after the announcers had already called it for the other guy, he has the leftover gusto to do an interview in french -- without translator -- a few minutes later. they never show that on american tv... knowing my propensity to forget even english at the slightest athletic stress, i'm more impressed than ever. (and for what it's worth, he told 'em pretty much the same things he told the oln interviewer - yeah, he told teammate floyd landis to go for the win today because he deserved it, but he wasn't going to let the other guys walk off with it when that didn't work out.)
