It will be very difficult.
All of us will have to pay attention to cycling for 9 months every year, instead of just 3 weeks.

If cycling is not on mainstream TV live in the US I will not watch it. I would also like to hear the commentary in the native language of the regions, with English subtitles. Black and white would be cool to see the races televised in.
Also I would like to see the adverts from the respective countries.

I don't know how will we survive without Lance ?

No disrepect to Stephen Roche but when King Kelly retired back cycling in Ireland practically went with the legend in terms of people following the sport. The classics, the tours, the worlds and the long awaited Nissan Classic fizzled out in people mind set.

(with my hand on my heart)

My country tis of thee
Channel Discovery
Of thee I sing,
With UPS he conquered France
At Astana he gave Bertie a chance
You are the bestest Lance
Lance will win 8

He will be God to thee
Lemond only won three
And so he hates,
Greg says Lance aint the best
But he never failed a test
Unlike Jan and the rest
Lance will win 9

It comes, the joyful day,
As he rides away
The rolling planes,
He rides for the very sick
Landis is just a d**k
His crap will never stick
Lance will win 10

High Cadence swells the breeze
Its music to the trees
As he flies by,
Vino Landis and Contador
Went into a doping store
Need I say anymore
Lance will win 11

My country tis of thee
It is no mystery
That hes so great,
In the Land of Charlamaine
Only Luz and Ventoux remain
To make his royal claim.
Lance will win all.

Fantastic anthem, Hitch. Love the way you deliberately altered facts to suit yourself (LA won at Luz in '03). It's just what Lance would have done.

Genious!
But I can't resist adding this twist...

Win them all, yes... unless
My country tis of thee
What about all his frozen pee
Surely I don't jest
If they put the pee to the test
Could show he wasn't for certain the best

My country tis of thee
to be stripped of titles and enduring glory
Come Basso, Kloden, and Beloki
Come Zule, and also Ullrich times three
Come get your belated yellow jersey.

Hola, soy Tyler Farrar, el velocista de Team Garmin-Transitions

Ciao, sono Tyler Farrar, sprinter del Team Garmin-Transitions

Hallo, ik ben Tyler Farrar, sprinter van Team Garmin-Transitions

Oi, eu sou Tyler Farrar, velocista para a Team Garmin-Transitions

We will only have to survive till Max Armstrong and Max Ullrich are grown ups.

BTW:
If ESP does this Transitions-Tyler spot propaganda this year again, I will only watch ****ty internet streams. Otherwise I will get crazy.
I can't stand that for another year.
Is Tyler still involved ? Perhaps they could change the rider. That would be ok for me. :rolleyes:

I myself cannot wait for those two to compete. Like to World War I fighter pilot aces.
