To be even more practical, relatively few people in North America want to watch any kind of bicycle racing, live or on TV. Probably even fewer give a darn about anything related to UCI rules or the existence of recumbents.

That must be changing or why would NBC (via NBS-SN) have broadcast both the TdF, and the Vuelta, all stages. We watch the morning full race and the evening prime time recap. It sucks you in. I figured that my wife and I were unusual until I was in tavern in mid-Ohio and asked if they could turn on of the many TVs to the Tour. As the place filled I was shocked to see how many were watching and even down-voted a guy that wanted to watch something else.

I don't believe you, You could use bar ends if you weren't such a snob! LOL.

UCI = unspecified commercial interests

Its only important if you are involved in UCI events, otherwise, its irrelevant, like many of the OP's threads.
