The drugs will never trump my love for cycling and this grand old race.

Sounds like a true addict.

yes it makes me want to go out and ride, every year I want to buy a new road bike after watching the Tour! But I never do... my wife said that one more bike and she will burn them all when I go out to my next long ride!! ouch! what ever happened to kick the sht out of me, divorce and the more physical stuff... why take it all out on the equipment??? women are crazy!!!

But a friend who is french (and works for Michelin!) asked the same question about american sports a few months ago, he asked: does anyone care about baseball anymore? is anyone not taking drugs in baseball?

The French and I love cycling, the Italians and I love Soccer, the Britts and I love tennis, golf and F1 Racing, Kiwis and I love sailing, Canadians and I love ice hockey, must of us love football, basketball, swimming, track races, horse racing and did I mentioned that I love triathlon??? is poker a sport??? mmmmm sex?? is there a championship???.... so there is always something for everyone.

I hate Nascar, champcar, indycar, drugs, and most of all I hate grey's anatomy.

And for mental sanity I try to not follow baseball, cricket, rugby, billiard championships and most of all I avoid at all cost surfing because if I don't I can easily gain 20 pounds!

From Will Frischkorn's write-up at VeloNews:

Quote

...it's hard to not appreciate, if not be truly awed, by how many people are out watching a bike race. When people say that the public are abandoning the sport ... not a chance. Faith renewed. I can't imagine the mountains ...
