I didn't say that he wasn't - just that it would be easier to take him seriously if wasn't so 'Broadway' about it every time. Fwiw I've always enjoyed Jimmy's posts but recently it seems like he's rolling out pre-formed opinions with much wailing/gnashing of teeth - pulled straight from The Clinc (which it is possible to read, but take with a pinch of salt).
My point is that the sport is in a period of change and there is no clear line you can draw under a certain date and say 'before bad, after good' which certain people seem intent on doing. That approach is pointlessly black and white - cycling in its current state is very very grey. Better to be realistic than optimistic this point.
+1 for what horatio said. Given his history I'm astonished that anyone is surprised by all this.
