En franēais, bien sūr.
I'm sure that mon dieu merde, was probably the first thing on his mind... (do you suppose the auto censor picks up languages other than English....), but not take that Lance. I'm going to bet he's a big enough boy to understand that while his win was VERY important to him, to France and to the stage, the chess match that is the chase for the overall win took precedence to the overall leaders, including Lance, over chasing him down unnecessarily... at 29th and 4:26 (and that is after today) back he could probably even try the same thing on the next stage and get away with it.

I'll also still bet he'll take a big ribbing at the dinner table tonight for showing the world his chicken chest :P , but I'm sure winning a stage of the TDF is worth any amount of teasing.
