Unfortunately I think that alot of new cycling fans from the last eight years are going to walk away jaded and disinterested from the pro cycling world. They weren’t around for Delgado, or Festina and they don’t have any “history” or “tradition” with the sport. They won’t give it a second chance.

People are looking for something real and honest and all pro cycling has given them is scandal, lies, and disappointment.

As for me, I’m going to focus on the grassroots level of cycling and specifically endurance racing and trail riding. No need for doping scandals. Well, unless you count a cold beer as doping!
