I we want to competitive in pro cycling, we need the public and gov agencies to ok longer stage races with good climbs. No ifs or buts about it. Our riders just don't have enough racing miles in their legs. Their wpring races, not the classics, are easily over 100 miles long. Our pro 1,2s (do they still do that anymore?) are a little over half that and they go around the block. And yes, not enough money.
discovery is made up of many Europeans. They purchased many climbers and wind blockers to halp Lance.
Is the racing better today in the us at the club level? I have out of the game and got married, got fat in the pass 6 years. I raced as junior in 1984 until the late 90s.
