Could anyone decode the Armstrong speech for me? I do not at all understand his reference to 'those who don't think cycling is a sport...I feel sorry for them,' etc.? What is he talking about? I asked my guy cycling friends, and they said, variously, 'he is from Texas where all they talk about is football,' 'places like ESPN won't cover cycling,' were some answers. On my ride today I thought, maybe cycling is kind of too 'feminine' for gonzo sports guys; by this I mean that some of the best riders are kind of small and slight, they are riding bikes, much more fragile than SUVs--(OK, maybe this was a bonk induced thought!)

What do you all think?
