France should make all French riders chop off a ball to even things up.....

Judging by hair alone, French women have more testosterone anyway.

I seem to remember Chris Boardman saying recently something along the lines of "He must be a really boring person to want to return to cycling. He must have something better to do with his time than getting back on a bike and pedalling again".

I suppose that is just his passion....or even hobby. France does seem to have a grudge against the guy.

Thats because he went over there and kicked ass for seven years. Even worse, he's an American. I'm surprised some French national hasn't tried to assassinate him yet.

Oh the irony. I worked in the cycling industry for years. At one point I worked closely with the guy who designed Chris's famous time trial bike (which was actually built by Lotus, fact fans) and had the opportunity to meet Chris on several occasions. I can confirm the guy is a weapons grade dullard of the highest order. His comment smacks of sour grapes to me.
