To win TdF you should be French, have a European Frame and a Campag groupset

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Lance should have his TdF victories removed because in the TdF rule book you should really be French, ride a Euro frame and certainly have a Campag groupset. I can understand why the French are so upset now. I think it also preferable to also ride a jolly old bike like they had in 1901. I'm sure the record books will be ammended now.

Imagine riding a Trek bike with Shimano gear and being from the New World... Shouldn't be allowed to enter. ;)
