From the article:
-----------------------------------------
When Lance Armstrong won his fifth Tour de France in July, it was not the only cycling victory for
an American. As he rolled across the finish line in Paris, he rode a bicycle made in the United
States by Trek. . A few years ago, to suggest that an American-made bicycle would be used in, let
alone win, Europe's biggest bicycle races would be a little like saying that the president of
France would drive to state functions in a Hummer. . But American companies like Trek, Cannondale,
Scott USA and Specialized are trying to extend their domestic dominance of the road bike market not
just to France but to all of Europe.
