When the riders are interviewed during coverage of the big races on OLN or where ever, they seem to
stick to tactics and speak to the true cyclists watching the events. When I read the threads on this
NG I see a lot of different personalities, but mostly veterans who don't want to put up with noobs
asking questions like "What's a chainstay?" Although sometimes the flaming is ruthless It keeps me
thinking that cycling is an "underground" sport that probably won't attain mainstream status
comparible to american football or baseball. AND I LIKE IT that way. I saw the interview with LA on
NBC this morning and I rolled my eyes more than a few times. Lance was such a dork. Playing into the
retarded questions "whats-her-face" asked about how scared he was when he was only up by 15". I
guess my question is...is the overexposure that Lance Armstrong is getting going to ruin the race
interviews that I like to watch, and are future winners going to do the same. Or, refresh my memory,
do all big race winners turn hollywood ?
