OLN's Opinion

If anyone wants another cycling website (you probably have it), but,

www.cyclingnews.com

I don't think it is as focused on Lance, it may not be tv, but it is good

Sorry CAM, but Ulrich has very little opportunity to make some "cash" in the US, despite his many fans. He is too one-dimensional and not marketable outside of cycling, which in itself is not very marketable in the US.

If you look at what Lance is doing, it's preparation for his next career as an "on-air" personality. Even Tyler is trying it out with his "pimping" of his MS Foundation in every interview he gives.

Not even T-Mobile can get much out of Ulrichin Germany beyond the tour. In the US they have to resort to that Welsh [censored], Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Just consider how unmarketable Steffi Graf, Michael Schumacher, Boris Becker, Franz Beckenbauer have been in the US during their prime despite legions of fans. Even the Kaiser couldn't bail out the NASL.

Ulrich would be a fool to give up the near deity-worship he has in Europe for any work in the US.

OT BTW - I don't think what Cheney said was bad. It was done "man-to-man", totally in context during the Senate get-together and unlike the recent rants by the holly-wierd left at the Kerry/Edwards fundraiser, it was not a position statement endorsed by the Republican party. Leahy verbally attacked Cheney and deserved to be called to task for being the coward he is.
