Too bad they have all these advertising spots for wresling, boxing, and fighting. What kind of the message is this? On one side they promote a healthy sport and way of life, on the other they advertise "sportmen" who finish brain dead before they turn 40.
It means that they do not have enough normal (read: non-cycling) sponsors. Bike related companies seem to put their cash into teams instead of buying air time on Versus. Imagine Versus billing all the companies advertised on the jerseys for the air time they get.
