Everyday.  My pick for this year is Quintana.  He's 26 going on 52 and is a true escarabajo.

I have to admit, since Lance Armstrong left the sport, it hasn't been that big in the US.

It's interesting when you think about how it was on network television during his time, then went to cable, and is now on what channel?

Just shows that the people in the US only care about worldwide sports where their guys is on top.

I like to watch most days when I can.
Have always enjoyed cycling in general.

Whatever they are are taking its still one hell of a endurance race.
Will be interesting to find out in time what team Sky the British team
Have been up to -- 3 wins in the last 4 or 5 years, before that we were
Nowhere.

Of course all natural & all just their new training regime.

It's more than that. He is a disgraced athlete. And so the networks, endorsers all distanced themselves from him. And coverage shrank because Lance was not the darling that the media made him out to be.
It's kinda like how they sped up the tracks to help erase Ben Johnson record. Lack of coverage, and giving more coverage to Wimbledon, especially with Americans Venus and Serena Williams, helps erase the stain of Lance Armstrong away. Even another strong American contender will always have that burden to carry.

It may be, but even before he was proven to be a drug user, without him even riding, it was pretty quickly shoved to places like The Outdoor Life Channel.

It's always been my name. I have never hidden behind some fake name. No need to. I don't lie.

Why the fuck would I spend any time to stalk you?

One quick check of your hard drive and the police and DCS will put you where you belong.

But kudos to your sister on that dizzying array of colorful Lycra shirts of hers you wear

So let's get this straight, now you're claiming I am a pedophile?

Oh brother... You really are quite predictable. Same shit as always. You are embarrassing yourself. You should come back when you have better material.

It's quite obvious that you're lashing out unable to come to grips with your own inner turmoil. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for you all of sudden.

I await your next thought provoking statements.

Are you 5'-2" tall? Jesus fuck, you not only make Coach look tall, compared to you he comes across like a Mensa candidate. You're very creepy, like the kind of guy who keeps 40 gerbils in an aquarium just for when he wants to enjoy a quiet night at home!
