Our goal is to proverb

 Our goal is to create one of the world's signature sporting events. The time's right. Recreational cycling has never enjoyed more popularity. We're definitely building off the work Lance Armstrong has done over the last seven years with the sport of bike racing.

 With a field of cycling teams that is clearly considered world-caliber, fans have shown their excitement and appreciation for the race by attending in record numbers. With each day of racing becoming more exciting and dramatic, it is clear that the coverage, word-of-mouth and results have established this race as one of the greatest sporting events held in recent years.

 Two of the most popular sporting events in the world are the World Cup of soccer and the Olympics, and one of the reasons they're successful is because they combine sport with nationalism. Any time you do that, you expand the interest in the sport.

 Cycling continues to be an important part of OLN programming. With Lance Armstrong's retirement, fans are eagerly waiting to see who will emerge as the sport's next star. Through our coverage of the spring classics, we will be able to chronicle the drama leading up to, and including, the Tour de France.

 The interest will allow them to maintain their viewer base to the extent Lance participates in the channel. They can't be the Lance Armstrong Channel once he leaves competitive cycling.

 We love the fact Lance has brought so many eyeballs and attention to the sport of cycling. But it's not just Lance.

 Used to, it was mostly college kids buying bicycles to get around campus. But now it's people who have been exposed to cycling through watching and reading about Lance who are taking up cycling. Some are into racing, but most do it for fitness and the social aspects.

 He (Armstrong) was like a little kid in a candy store while he toured the factory looking at the molds and watching the engineers work on computers. Lance is really a sophisticated bike guy who is thoroughly moved with the science behind the bikes.

 Lance Armstrong is one of the most tested athletes in the history of sport and he has come up clean every single time. This kind of years-ago testing of a single sample with new technology is completely without credibility.

 [Not as long as Armstrong is riding. Asked at the end of the second week whether he thought he was] too much of a force for the Tour's own good, ... I don't know. But I know that I love the race. I love everything that it stands for. It is what they pay me to do. This is my job. They say, 'Lance, we want you to win the Tour de France.' That's what the team wants, what the sponsors want, what cycling fans in America want, what cancer survivors around the world want.

 Ford's commitment to the Ford Tour de Georgia is an essential element in the growth of both the event itself and the sport of cycling in the United States. Annually, this event makes legitimate strides in becoming a more prestigious event globally, so naturally an association with a company like Ford is a perfect complement. Their continued support to cycling projects like the Ford Tour de Georgia, as well as an elite-level women's mountain bike team Ford Cycling, represents a significant dedication to our sport.

 We continue to be thrilled with the tremendous support from the great California fans we have seen every day in record numbers. I truly believe that years from now, fans of this great sport will look back upon this event as a true moment of truth that played a significant role in the development of road cycling as a major sports competition. With records for largest-ever crowds for both a cycling race and an athletic event held in the state of California on track to be broken, we can easily witness first-hand the popularity of cycling to an incredibly broad and diverse group of all ages.

 Andy's appointment is one of the most significant we have made in recent years. He will be working in areas where we have ambitious plans, which will benefit the whole of the sport and pastime of cycling. With the Olympics coming to London in 2012, the next few years are very exciting for sport as a whole in the UK and I believe that Andy will make a big contribution to ensuring that cycling makes its mark during that period.

 [Meanwhile, the former pro rider defended cycling, which in his opinion, the same rules weren't applied as in other sports.] I can understand why a journalist publishes the information, ... But I have my doubts on the lab. And I ask myself: Why only Armstrong and not the other ones? "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention. Why only cycling and not the urine samples of the French soccer players in the 1998 World Championships?

 Tennis Australia wishes to pay tribute to Paul for his efforts over the past 12 years which have established the Australian Open as one of the world's marquee sporting events. His creativity and energy helped elevate the Australian Open to be on a par with the other three Grand Slams and set a benchmark for major sporting events in Australia and around the world. He leaves the Australian Open in a very healthy state after another hugely successful tournament.
