Whats my point?, what is it with some ppl who when they don’t get the point they need it explained to them. Okay in slow, Compared to team america(f@$kyeah) team skippy roo has less people to choose from, Australia also has less coverage than anywhere else(being so far away-stages start at 11 and finish at 2 in the morning) with this year being the first year they will show all the stages live. Last year I had to listen to it on the internet. Bicycle racing is not a popular sport in the in u.s?, hell bike riding is not a popular sport here either gee all you have to do is go for a ride to realise they cars driven by unstable ppl dominate the road. My point is…duh duh oh bugger it, if you haven’t got it yet, get a bigger dictionary. and to the dude who asked how many ppl in china…hopfully enough to buy your products I spose.
Wow, that was brilliant. I see the light. Australia cycling is Great!! I will drink a tooies (sp) and ponder my ignorance. Wait I bet the skippy’s can beat us yank’s in rugby, too.
