| Actually, while he had the Yellow Jersey, Voeckler was the most vocal
| French person with regards to the fact that he would lose the jersey.
| There was a nice documentary of his 2005 Tour ride in which you see
| that
| he is quite an amusing fellow, e.g., he does an imitation of his mother
| who
| called him when he got the jersey, a totally confused rant about how he
| won the race for the yellow jersey (I don't remember the exact
| details).

| Since I'm watching the 2004 Tour during my trainer rides right now, I
| just happened
| to watch the La Mongie stage, and can tell you who the real attention
| getting jerk is:
| Richard Virenque, who, when dropped, went to find Voeckler, also
| dropped, and
| tried to give him pace for a couple of minutes. Essentially, he was
| looking for
| a place where there would be TV cameras, and were he could get more
| sympathy
| from the French people by supporting the hero of the moment.

I remember watching the stage at the time and thinking how transparent
Virenque was.
