When the cameras are rolling at the Tour de France, no one puts on more of a show than Thomas Voeckler.

Grimacing, grinning, his mouth gaping, his tongue dangling, his head bobbing — Voeckler holds nothing back when racing a bike.

His French fans love him, whether he is winning a stage, like he did Wednesday at the Tour de France, or simply battling to retain the yellow jersey for just one more day, like he did in 2011.
