Greetings,

Something has bugged me for a while now so I'll ask my BF brothers and sisters to see if anyone knows :)

On the podium the stage winners give the girls kisses, one on each cheek.

So why is it that Lance gives 'em 3 kisses instead of just two?

Zack, I need a life, Jones :)

Apparently I need a life as I noticed the same thing! I don't have an answer, though.

Maybe all the podium gitls want to be Lance's next little thing on the side?

if i was in his shoes, i'd want all the kisses i could get. lance is indeed the only one i've ever seen do three. it was a bit awkward at first, but they all know it's coming by now.

I think its something like Italians do two kisses, French do three, and folks that are neither simply get confused

It depends on how beautiful they are, right ? :D
I would give the girls 4 kisses, or 5.

Pgreene is correct. Italians give two and the French give three.

I think the first two are for thank you, and the last one is to slip them his room number. :D I would think that a french kiss would be more appropriate at the Tour de France.
