In 21 years, three Americans have won the Tour of France a total of 11 times.
One, a gunshot victim, one a cancer patient, and one still waiting for hip replacement surgery.
If the French ever seriously piss us off, we can threaten to send some healthy athletes over.

As Eurotwit pointed out on our stage threads, we did - Hincapie, Leipheimer, Julich, Horner...

Phil Liggett commented that to win as an American you apparently have to be recovering from some sort of adversity. We discussed this on a daily Tour thread and someone mentioned that we actually did send some healthy riders this year: Hincapie, Leipheimer, Horner, Julich and Rodriguez...
