Famous?

That's what I was after, someone to tell me what the interest is.

I don't and never have understood fame. I am interested in people that I know and not people I'll never meet.

Knowledge interests me. Personal achievement doesn't.

That said. Now tell me why she is discussed on aesthetic appeal rather than cycling ability?

ok but there's a world of difference between personal achievement (winning big bruvver) and personal achievement of VP:

If you're saying that even VP's achievements aren't of interest to you, then fair enough. What interests *me *(in no particular order):

• how you get so damn successful
  
• what it's like being a female sports woman (how do you survive in the "she has to be pretty too, or I'm not interested" world)
  
• what the impact of her and the rest of the team raising the profile of track cycling is (on people in the UK as a whole as well as cyclists)
  
  

I think you've got an interesting point tho. My counter to you is that fame and achievement are a consequence of knowledge.
