Coolest Lance Commerical

Sierraman

Got to be the Nike one with him riding in the dark, through
tunnels, down side streets, out in the country with the
buffalos, with the background music and the little kid
riding behind him at the end. Coolest one I've seen, this
probably makes young kids think that cycling is cool. The
others over the years just seem to be mostly sound and
visual bits here and there.

On another note, anybody remember Samuel Dumoulin crash?
Note the cameramen stalking their prey? I suppose they
thought they had a Graham Watson photo in the making where a
lone rider sits in the middle of the road, dirty, maybe
bloodied and in pain. It seems like they just couldn't get
enough. Ever when he went back to his bike they were still
hounding him. I guess they were in the right place at the
right time but Sammy seem to be milking the attention when
he got back on his bike. Chance to get some press in Euro
papers, maybe.

The Lance Chronicles is the best one. I'd love to learn that
OLN struck a deal to do The Ullrich Chronicles. I'd be neat
to compare these two incredible athletes this way, through
their personalities, training and what not.

I couldn't believe what they were doing as well, especially
the fact that there were so many of them in his face. They
were like a bunch of vultures.

I think all of them suck. For some reason, idiots in Madison
Ave have decided a bicycle isn't good enough, so they've
tried to make it into a motorcycle. They have no idea what
makes cycling so magical. I've never ever seen a cyclist try
to race someone on motorcycle. Also they've missed it on
Lance. They're trying to make him into a circus freak, doing
everything but what he knows how to do. But I've seen this
done to famous football players, golfers, etc.
