French Compliment?

Quote from today’s NY Times about Lance Armstrong and his preparations for the Tour de France (Lance is set to win his record 6th Tour de France tomorrow):

“It’s an improvement in the method of approaching the Tour de France — more professional, more rigorous, more methodical,” race director Jean-Marie Leblanc said. “In a word, more American.”

Gotta love it. More professional + more rigorous + more methodical = more american. What is the French formula? More picky + more existential + more irascible = more french?
