This has been nagging at me for a while, why i dont know, but anyhow...
Where are all the Greek pro cyclists??
I mean, its a hilly mediterranean country in the south of europe, good food, good wine.
Italy, Spain and Portugal have come to the party, but where are the greeks?
Do they love riding a donkey a lot more than a bike perhaps?!!

You obviously don't know the difference between humorous and
offensive.
Watch now as idiots come out of the woodwork to try to
justify offensive ethnocentric stereotyping as
harmless jokes.

Im guessing it has to do with [censored] roads/conditions and too much wine :-)
One could also ask, where are all the black-americans ???
(... french, chinese, japanese, Indian, etc)
(there was one ex-NY-courier back in the 80s on the track, but that's it!!!)

If this is a serious question than the answer probably lies
in Greece's proximity to France. As in it aint.

You've answered my question anyway.

Are the greek actually 'BIG' in anything???
I cant name ANY greek athlete of any flavour. There's some alphabet-rearranged soocer team that sunds like Pain-in-the-nakkers but apart from that i think they had a bronze medal some dark-distant running event sometime in the last 10 years.
Im betting there will be lots of commentators concentrating on the romance' of being in the ancient Greece, rather than anyone winning and being greek in the forthcoming olympics!

Ahh c'mon 'dutch...surely you remember that great athlete...yannis kouros....he pinched cliffy's gumboots & beat him in the westfield marathon......he was that good they gave him the contract to build the roof for the Athens olympics swimming complex!.....& now being duty bound to tell an offensive ethnic joke....
Q. why isn't the greek soccer team any good?
A. cos everytime they get a corner...they build a fish & chip shop on it!.....
yeah i know alright!!!,
cheers,
Hitchy
There are certain countries that are not good at any sport. Take the English for example??
But seriously I have always thought in terms of 'Population vs Olympic Medals' Cuba and Australia would rate very high, whereas India, Greece and China would rate very low?

Be careful of [censored] jokes, sometimes they bite back.

Oh what the heck. This PC world is becoming so constricting youre not even allowed to tease slower riders as they will claim under some international conspiracy that they are on a 'fat-burning' trainin ride!
Bow-locks, I say!!!
speaking of [censored] jokes:
Sarah-Jessica-Parker walks into a bar,
the barman says, "!$@# youre ugly!"

go count up the winners of all the grand tours over time,
the one day classics, the world cup races and the WC. Count
how many are from France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Germany etc
and how many are from Australia and the US.
Y'know there was cycling before Lance.
