I don't want to underestimate Lance's performance, up to today, there have only been four riders to win the Tour five times. But as far as I remember, he's not the only one with five consecutive victories: Miguel Indurain did this as well.I think you may have meant to write "... to all Americans on this list for Lance Armstrong's fifth CONSECUTIVE Tour de France victory." It was the best ever IMHO. I really feel for Jan Ullrich as he was setting a very strong pace during yesterday's time trials ... when his accident happened. It would have made the final stage a bit more interesting and nerve racking. but it wasn't to be. Ullrich deserves a very big hand of applause, as well as the Kazakstan fellow (Kironourov ?sp?) and, of course, Tyler Hamilton with his great effort under physical duress. Just a fabulous race overall ... anything could happen and, seemingly, did when most unexpected.
Next year's race is even going to be more interesting I think.
