there's nothing special about floyd, dude. he isn't some arrogant a-hole who survived cancer to become the greatest tour de france rider ever and use his celebrity to save the world from said cancer at the same time. he's just a regular dude. people don't want that. they want superman, and until he comes back from his hip surgery and wins another tour, he won't be news.
