I guess if you wanted to see the US team in action
at Worlds you needed to get up early. Or watch the Womens race. |

The larger pool of athletes might have something to do with it but we don't have even a fraction of the infrastructure that Belgium has. If you kids are thinking about racing you should move your ass to Belgium toot suite. |

There are a small number willing to race for a hand-to-mouth paycheck, but most do so because of a personality defect that allows them to believe they could be the next Lance Armstrong if only things would work out the right way. You'd have to move the Belgium cycling infrastructure to the US, and even then, you likely wouldn't get much of a draw. Some argue that this is the reason French cycling has been on the skids... that people have bought into the "good life" and cycling is simply too much hard physical labor and rules and restrictions, with too few benefits. --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |
