Based on active participation, of course... I guess that's the case in most countries. Based on viewership and general interest is another thing.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but in Norway XC-skiing is the most popular sport - narrowly beating biathlon. Just read here: http://sport.aftenposten.no/sport/langrenn/article267740.ece

Well, it seemed like the entire Norway had a go at Vaughters on Twitter when Hushovd said he wasn't allowed to ride the Vuelta. TV2DagO2 Dag Otto Lauritzen @Vaughters you show that you don't deserve a World Champion in your team. Shame on you
