Erm ok. So you don't value it very high as a spectator sport. That's fine, but to claim it's not a sport is madness. The average professional footballer is a certified poof compared to the average professional cyclist. As far as sports go, cycling is one of the most brutal ones, and the Tour de France is the most brutal race in cycling.
