The guy wearing the flag gave a water bottle to Levi who was in front.
When he took the bottle he almost stopped up, and Skeletor had to
swerve around him. The guy in the flag actually did a good job of
jumping out of the way.
I guess you didn't see the video of the guy in the thong bending
over...

The multiple LiveStrong wristbands on the guy with the antlers is a nice
touch. But talk about a momentum killer for popular support of your cause.

Notice how close the flag is to Rasmussen's bike. Methinks it was a
gringo plot to
distract Rasumussen with the horns and snag the flag in his front
wheel by 'accident'.
Alas, for the plotters, Rasumussen was not fooled. Could be worse tho
- a couple of
pix later there's a guy in a thong. Why aren't there women in thongs
runing along side
of the riders??????

Unless wearing horns on an American football helmet and running
alongside riders in the Tour is becoming quite common, I believe this
guy isn't even American. At the very least, there was a German (?) guy
who used to do the exact same thing in the Armstrong era.

That guy shows at least a level of fanatical dedication that deserves
some level of admiration I suppose. If I were there and I saw that
guy, I'd go find some other place to watch however. Levi was happy to
take the water from his bud wearing the flag, so I guess he couldn't
have been too irritated. The other riders is a different story
probably.
As for being embarassed on behalf of foreign nations, I am embarassed
for Norway. There are 2 Norwegians in the race this year and both of
them consider it a good day to manage to hang with the gruppetto, yet
hundreds of people feel the need to wave the Norwegian flag in the
face of the leaders 30 minutes up the road.
