My mom’s French. We only celebrate Bastille Day

I have to admit Thomas Voeckler is one of my favorite cyclists ever. I’ve already recounted his heroics in 2004. How he battled Lance Armstrong for 10 days. Well here he is again in the Maillot Jaune. And on Bastille Day!
His team this year is young and inexperienced. Only through a surprise break away did he win the jersey. In interviews yesterday, he feels that he can’t keep the jersey today, Bastille Day. But knowing him he’ll fight to hold onto it. Alléz, Tommy! Alleéz!
Happy Bastille Day!
