Comments on: New Era Of American Cycling? http://www.teamradioshack.us/new-era-of-american-cycling/ Team RadioShack Cycling Fan Site Fri, 06 Jan 2012 08:13:27 +0100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: JMS http://www.teamradioshack.us/new-era-of-american-cycling/comment-page-1/#comment-6667 JMS Sun, 01 Aug 2010 03:32:41 +0000 http://www.teamradioshack.us/?p=3517#comment-6667 About 1/2 way through you know who's 7-straight TDF run, my brother asked me what I thought of Lance Armstrong. I said "who" and "who cares", blah, blah blah, ... but of course, within a year or so of watching my first stage, than race (which I snuck away from work to watch), I probably corrected somebody in every conversation about Lance and cycling since then. Yep, he and his team orchestrated an international epic, and it happened in the midst of a multitude of other exceptional riders, so it's easy to think it's all over cuz Lance is over TDF hill. It was a fabulous time to get into biking. In fact when I first started riding hard, I saw only one or two cyclists each year where I ride everyday. Now you can't go a day without passing several. It's better, it's not over. Hey maybe someday you'll meet him on the road, and share a beer in a bar watching a bike race. We have lots to look forward to.

Levi, Tyler, Dave, Big George, etc have helped expand the fan base. The Tour of California was well attended. I just wish we could have something comparable east of the Mississippi.

And while I wish Big George was on the team, he isn't. So your criticism seems a bit vehement in its sentiment. Perhaps it's a bit of pro-Garmin rallying on your part.

Maybe you're being paid by The Shack. Who knows? But to mention a new era of American cycling without mentioning Vande Velde, Farrar, Zabriskie, etc. is just criminal. Just because they don't ride for The Shack? C'mon. Look, I know you are Shack fans. Maybe you’re being paid by The Shack. Who knows?
