Well we don't have a separate section like for football and baseball so I figured I would put this here.

Depends on which yellow jerseys. A few years ago there was a team with all yellow jersey. [SIZE=-1]Brioches-La Boulangerie was pretty good French team and they had this one young guy (20's) Tom Voekler that had an incredible stage win in the Tour a few years ago. Tomas Voekler then actually got to wear the real yellow jersey for a few days. I think that made him the first Frenchman in yellow for almost a decade, but I could be mistaken about that. He did become a national hero that day! I also believe he ended up winning the White Jersey that tour too.

The French take the Le Grand Tour very seriously. Last year when the tour and the World Cup were happening at the same time there was almost a national shutdown of all work so people could watch both on TV.

Yes but they alkso know how to enjoy too, something we forget about.

I do love the name of that team though, Brioches Boulangerie.

A boulangerie is a bread shop. It sounds so much like lingerie that I just can't help but smile and think, 'hmmmm sexy bread''
