Well, this coverage is not helping the big problem with cycling. Nobody knows who any of these guys are and it just looks like a mess of lycra lunatics. They really need to have the rider names and teams come up, at least for the guys in the break.

I can understand why but it causes you to lose control of your heart rate. Caffeine tires your heart and its a laxative. Who wants to take a dump mid-race?

He's trying to get an endorsement from Jack Daniels, and they don't like clean-shaven men.
