What an interesting question!

While I lpersonally like that team oriented approach, (it would be nice to 
regain our international team status  from the French, for one thing!), my 
questions are: (1) was Val on the team or riding independently? and (2) 
France is a very socialist oriented country--would this go over in our very 
"capitalist" USA?
