African and French Victories at the Tour…

[Ivan Sack]

Good article. I've read like articles in the past and have the same frustration. How can competitive cycling develop in the U.S. and Canada when it is almost impossible to watch the races here? It's a chicken and egg debate. The corporations say we can't offer cycling because there's a lack of interest and money to be made. The potential viewing public replies, how can we develop and interest in cycling when we never get to see a race and have absolutely no idea who the big names are? Look at the growth of European football in N.America. Cycling could be the same if the public was exposed to it.
