Lance Armstrong has won his 6th consecutive Tour de France. The official "Lard-ass Sportswriter 'Cycling Isn't A Sport' Watch" is now begun. Who will be the first loser to publish the opinion that this is no big deal, because "cyclists aren't real athletes".
It happens every year, so it shouldn't be long. Some beer-soaked clueless sportswriter somewhere will opine that bicycle riding in skin tight suits is for sissies and real athleticism consists of 300-pound millionaire coke addicts trying to beat each other to death in a stadium. As always, the sportswriter will be someone who can barely haul his fat hulk up one flight of stairs, incapable of grasping what an extreme sport ultramarathon cycling is.
