I find myself watching particular sport events because I like the announcers. Phil Liggets voice sounds so pleasant to me , that's one of the reasons I watch the tour.

Paul and Phil are great! That is why I tape the first run and don't watch the evening one...I don't want to listen to the others!
Oh no, I changed the subject here!

I agree with katluvr - finding information on women's racing is more difficult. VeloNews has gotten better recently with several articles on Kristin Armstrong, one today on Jeannie Longo (who will be racing here in MA next week in the Fitchburg Longsjo stage race - in my category . Thankfully, I'll just be spectating...), and others on the recent women's races in Europe.

We don't hear as much about it because it is a much smaller presence than men's racing, both nationally and internationally.

That said, anyone looking for some exciting women's racing in MA next weekend should trek out to Fitchburg - 111 Pro/1/2 women taking the line for the four-day stage race, including Jeannie, Catherine Cheatley, Laura Van Gilder, Lyne Bessette, Tina Pic and more. It will be a field deep with talent...

What - you have the chance to race with Jeannie Longo and you'e passing it up???

I'm a big Marianne Vos fan. She is spectacular and extremely versatile.

Too bad that woman's cycling has absolutely no success in my country.

I can't believe Jeannie Longo is still doing so well.

Back in the day she didn't have a lot of competition. Twenty years later she has plenty, and she's still competitive. That's one amazing woman.

I'm not interesting in doing or watching any racing

She's 10 years older than me, and would probably beat the pants off of me! And the rest of the filed is likely on average about 10 years younger than me!

Plus, it's a hilly race - I am NOT a hill climber.
