If I can read the magazine in 15 minutes in the bathroom then perhaps the information content needs to be revisited. Either that or I need more fiber in my diet. I will decide which. I do not think this is strictly an American issue, but given the first 2 items, a horrible synergy takes place. This is the single greatest disservice to the sport.
Performance is a training issue.
You don't train, you don't perform. However, if you lie to enough people, some start believing that looking the part is better than doing the training. Brutal honesty, Competent mechanics and nasty letters to the networks. Once again Channel seven has got their hands onto a minority sport by buying the rights and look set not to do the event justice. While 7 may provide better international coverage it will leave the Australian public not in Adelaide short changed.
