Hi Ryan,

I think we (Editors and myself) were trying to infer that track cycling is "the redheaded stepchild" because no one in mainstream, football-watching, America knows the sport exists or pays any attention to it. This is not a reflection on track cycling, but on the "popularity" and capitalization of mainstream sports. Hopefully it was clear how very difficult the sport of track cycling is, and that it deserves much more coverage and credit!

Best wishes to you,

Kathryn Bertine
