Mainstream sports media are calling Lance the #1 all-time athlete.
This is leaving millions of sports fans blinking. They know everything
about all the other sports, but nothing about bike racing. I'd say
we're still in the situation where possibly half the sports fans
wouldn't even agree that bike racing is a sport. They lump it in with
curling or darts. Even the media people are saying goofy stuff: "He's
the best because he was sick and that darn Tour is HARD. I couldn't do
it, that's fer sure."
What's your best way to explain bike racing?
Here's my try:
"Bike racing is like a combination of race car driving, boxing,
marathon running, the
100 yard dash and a Special Forces military team."
