And it was like that during the whole Tour. They obviously talked about him as soon as he got first. It was actually like that all over Europe. Some journalists are very cynical about it though, because they question basically how can those guys ride everyday like they do. Some talk about "special" drugs, etc., but it's a subject journalists love to bring back during the Tour every year, whether it's Lance who wins or someone else.

But he has an done something that has not been done before and will take a long time (if ever) to break what he did. Got to respect the guy
