More ITA win at Giro than FRA at TDF?

I have only been following the big bike races for a couple of years but I have noticed this trend that the Italians seem to be winning a lot more stages at the Giro than French riders win stages at the Tour de France. Are the Italians a lot more lax with doping controls or are there other factors that are effecting this. You would think that home boys would have a slight advantage on home roads with home crowds. But this does not seem to be born out as much with the TDF as with other races.
