I say no. Think about it.

I have very little interest in the event because it's so far from reality and isn't nearly as interesting as many of the lower key, self supported races. <br /><br />On the other hand, one could argue that cycling needs a "big event" as many other sports have. It surely brings tons of money and publicity into the industry that can ultimately be used for things we'd have more interest in. <br /><br />That said, if they made the event self supported, and back to the basics - it'd be interesting to see who came out on top and how spectators reacted.Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974268503060035887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-3247490279115601772013-06-26T07:39:43.529-05:002013-06-26T07:39:43.529-05:00GT,
