An American on the 4th of July.....

[ABikerSailor]

Yesterday, the 3rd stage of the Tour de France was won by an American.

First time a 4th of July stage has ever been won by an American.

REDON, France - Two months ago, Tyler Farrar was demoralized, sleeping 20 hours a day. He had even stopped riding, overcome by sorrow after his best friend died in a crash at the Giro d'Italia.

On Monday, Farrar became the first American to win a stage of the Tour de France on the Fourth of July. It was the first time he had won a stage in cycling's showcase race, and he dedicated the victory to the late Wouter Weylandt of Belgium.

It's just a matter of time until the French bitch about it.

Yeah.........just like they bitched about Lance Armstrong.

First time EVER that an American has won it on the 4th of July. Kinda appropriate, don't ya think?
