Aussie Wins Tour De France, I fix Cycling

Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi! So what's his name won! Loved it, loved the finish, but on TV well .... it is a long race. Cycling needs something added to it to make it watchable.... like how baseball had all those over weight guys on steroids hitting home runs a few seasons back. Awesome to watch made better with the likelihood that their hearts were going to tear in two when they went to run the diamond.

I am not particularly making a comment on steroids, my opinion on steroids is .....meh... I am not for or against steroids, I am after a good fair, watchable game. I guess therefore my real policy on steroids in sport is no, unless everyone is on them... Like in school when the teacher would say "no eating lollies in class, unless you bring enough for everyone!".

But, I digress... cycling, how to make it watchable... well at a pinch I say get those old huge baseballers and their bats and throw them into the mix. You put a few of those guys bat in hand around a hair pin turn here and there and all of a sudden you have me and the wider beer drinking Joe Public watching 8 hours of cycling on pay-per-view.
