That's a bit cheap pants.

I (and many others) can make decisions based on different criteria than just following media hype. Cycling's been on Eurosport for years - I started watching it about 1990 (the years of the duels between Indura?n and Rominger) when I first got cable. Before that I'd always had an interest weaned from stats in the back pages of my dad's paper when I was a kid. It's not just blindly following what's flavour of the month.

And let's face it, not a lot of us here do that. We'd hardly be Norwich fans if that were the case, you could argue.
