It's great to see that cycling it's alive and kicking in the US. While the Big Media only focuses on several Stage races, mostly ToC, Utah, Colorado, NM, ....and the local races are only followed by the hard core tifosi.......These attempt to bring about a national Championship of mostly flat, 80 KM criteriums in several cities.......will certainly help to broaden the fan base. The women get equal treatment, unlike Europe; where the hot&sexy kind is given a sobordinate role. Anyway, congrats to Rafael Merán and Euri Vidal (CRCA/Foundation) and Josê Frank Rod (Coco's) for trying hard to fight for positioning on those short and fast circuits.
