Yes, true that French tradition hangs around. Refined.
Except for the Tour de France, I don't watch international competitive cycling (not that there's much offered here on tv in Canada). Where does cycling stand, somewhere ..further away from hockey potential for outright physical violence or cussing at the officials? I don't follow competitive cycling news.
