This article would have died with exactly one comment if I didn’t come along and make a joke about it, that’s how much everyone cares about this subject. So you guys are welcome for my contribution 🙂 At least it drew some attention to a part of the sport that can use all the attention it can get.

i rather watch women athletes, they don’t hold back and besides they look better in tights.

@haromania, I think you underestimate how many people care about women’s cycling. It might not be on your radar, and obviously it’s not as big as men’s cycling, but that doesn’t mean no one cares about it. And you’re correct, women’s cycling could use more attention, but not in the form of your sexist comment that was deleted.
