Lentz, the old Latin

As the wanted cycling news probably a little high out:

In the battle for the Tour victory Lance Armstrong (Astana) has not lost his sense of humor. The Texan said on his way to the controversial ban on communication between the driver and escort vehicles. He placed a cell phone photo in his Twitter with the words RIP (rest in peace). This is Latin and means "rest in peace."

Latin in Texas? Probably not ...
