Okay. If you look at riders in the Tour de France Germany's main star is
Jan Ullrich and the United States' main star is Lance Armstrong. Lance is
thinner than Jan (who's nickname is "the sausage creature" because he can't
keep his weight down in winter). Therefore there are some Americans who
are thinner than Germans.
