    Well, what use is a Pro Tour if a large percentage of those competing aren't
    at a majority of the races? And if the UCI puts these races all around the
    world you can bet that will happen. Say for instance that American racers
    race the American Pro Tour race. They probably aren't going to go to China
    to race one there. And in all likelihood neither will they go off to Europe.
    It will be a local race to most people and the entire idea of a Pro Tour
    then loses most of its impact.


    Who cares about races in America or China, Europe's where it's at when
    it comes to serious cycling, go back to sleep dude

    Give the Tour of America a chance. At six weeks it could overshadow
    two Grand Tours.

    Let's call this the "RAAM theory."

    Now, let's pretend you didn't say something that silly.

    Isn't that what we usually* do?

    * Where the word "usually" refers to something bell shaped and metallic
    that we stick out heads in, and bang them around.

    I prefer something breast shaped and soft. I can't comment on what gets
    stuck in or banged around.

    Well, yes. That's a great point.
