Quote: wire quin "You've named one large sponsor- Sky is the largest and best team in the world having joined the ranks of cycling during its biggest crisis. The No 1 aim of Sky was to win the ToF, cycling's flagship (and drug riddled) event within 5 years
Cycling is bigger now than its ever been and will grow further.
Lance Armstrong is known by more people today than ever before. Who would have known about Tyler Hamilton without drugs.
Cycling is in an absolute boom at the moment and when they get rid of the idiot at the top of the UCI it will go from strength to strength'"
I presume you mean the cycling boom in this country. Think that's more to do with Sir Chris Hoy, Victoria Pendelton and Sir Bradley Wiggins.
Just because people are watching the news about Lance Armstrong, doesn't mean they are into cycling.
Anyway, looks like it's going to cost the NRL $100 million sponsorship deal with Telstra.
