10,000 people went on the Lance ride or whatever it was last year. If it's not Lance then you reckon the crowd figures will be similar next year?
Lance is bigger than the sport though. His cancer story is known by huge numbers of people outside of cycling. Of course this doesn't protect him from a fall but I bet the people who read the book with no interest in cycling won't really care if he's brought down for doping. Cyclists will but the 'normals' won't. They assume we're all on drugs anyway
