according to cyclingnews.com something called WCTV is going to carry UCI events next year. First question, who the **^%$ are they? Second where the (*&^ are they?... OLN bah who cares? I think In the US cycling is very much a fringe/minority sport but as a recreational pastime it still has a large number of participants. Most of whom are totally ignorant to the whole world of cycle sport. The more people who watch cycleracing on whichever channel the more we will get as market forces will dictate what sport the broadcasters push out 'cause the viewing figures will bring in advertisers ultimatly. So tell your clubmates to find and watch cycling wherever it is. Don't know who WCTV are but don't forget that http://cycling.tv have had several Pro Tour races this year and I think, plan to have many more next year. I just found Zuri Metzgate on there yesterday, I posted else where on the newsgroup to that effect. |

Lance isn't racing anymore. So what "True Blue American" is going to
bother watching cycling shows anymore? Besides us, that is - - Chris Zacho ~ "Your Friendly Neighborhood Wheelman" "May you have the winds at your back, And a really low gear for the hills!" Chris'Z Corner http://www.geocities.com/czcorner |

Besides us, that is OLN is what got me back into road cycling and re-sparked my interest in professional cycling. Over 20 years ago I lived in Europe as a teenager. I did lots of bike riding and maintained a passing interest in the professional side of the sport. Once I returned to the states to go to college I lost interest and never gave it another thought until 4-5 years ago when I came across OLN's broadcast of the Giro. I was hooked again. I've been a mountain biker for 15 years, but just bought my first road bike in decades. I can sincerely say it was OLN, not Lance, that re-lit the road riding fire in me. That said, the grand tours will never rival the NFL or MLB. I suspect that cycling is destined to remain a fringe sport in the USA for the conceivable future. The more cycling on TV the better IMO, but I know I'll always be a minority of the TV watching public in that regard. Tom |

I'd rather watch the Tour without lance. Maybe someone who actually
races will win. Lance just finishes and relies on the antiqated system of overall time rather than stage wins. Next year we may see a real champion win. I bet lance will be back once he gets done with that old bag sherry crowe. |

No jealousy. I have two big b@lls , no doping and a gorgrous lady.
Lance is not good when compared to Lemond, or Merckx who actually raced!!!! |

If Lance was so great he would have tried to dominate his final tour
and win numerous stages just to show everyone something. All he did was finish in the pack so he lost no time. Many of the no-names arent hailed as being great so they get my respect for finishing. |
