Yes, for Americans. Turn on the TV. Read the newspaper. America is one of the only countries in the world that doesnt follow cycling. The Tour is the most watched sporting event in the world, dwarfing even the Superbowl, and yet the most you see of it is a one-paragraph blurb on the back page of the sports section. So yes, for Americans. And yes, I am an American, so it isnt facetious. Ill say this: You get over yourself. Its a toungue-in-cheek title, and if you must take the "high road" over that, lighten up

Glad to be of help. This is what this thread is here for.
