Slightly over twenty years ago I found interest in an oddball European sport called professional cycling. North American media was starting to follow the escapades of the first wave of American cyclists looking to make their mark in the pro-peleton. As part of an effort to bring the Tour de France to North American TV sets, CBS Sports Spectacular gave many North American viewers a glimpse of the one-day Spring Classics races where riders prepared their bodies for the major tours later in the year.
