It was German fans that gave Lance the finger and spat at him. It was German fans that heckled Jens Voight (a German) on L'Alpe d'Huez after he came back to help his own teammate hold second place against Ullrich the day before.
To top things off, did anyone see the idiot running with the German flag and getting in the way to the leaders on the Col de la Croix Fry only to have Kloden (a German) slug him and push him out of the way?
As an American, some of my most respected and admired riders are Germans: Jan Ullrich, Jens Voight, and Erik Zabel. So I ask, "Where is the love?"
