I never paid attention to pro cycling, and then only the TDF, until I got OLN on my cable, maybe in 02. Didn't know what the Velo News was until about the same time and my friend passes them along so I can look at the pictures. I only visit this sub forum during the TDF. I wish I had more time to follow the sport but that just ain't happening.
