Cycling. You've gotta have some serious balls to participate in that sport.

So a one balled man has 6 more Grand Tour wins than all of Canada put together?

Seems about right.

And he won on the last stage on a time trial, finishing 47 seconds ahead of J Rodriguez for the pink jersey.
the 2 riders took turns exchanging the leaders jersey most of the Giro, and Ryder finishing 2nd in stage 19 helped him get the overall lead sunday. the Giro was very fast and entertaining this season!

This was a pretty wild Giro.

And that trophy is probably the coolest I've ever seen.

Andy Hampsten won the Giro in 1988, that makes ten for our side.

To be fair to the yank, Andy Hampsten won the Giro in 1988. Which means they've won 10 grand tours and are therefore exactly as good as Canada.

Armstrong has 7 wins plus Hampsten's Giro as well. And if you figure on a per testicle basis alone, Armstrong alone is beating Canada quite handily.

US testicles > Canadian testicles.

What a heartwarming story.

Good on North America for finally winning an actual international sporting event without the use of performance enhancing drugs.

What a valiant little continent it is.

Damn. Too bad we finally get a cycling thread and it turns into a US/Canadian pissing contest.

I figured that there are more of us that aren't as enthralled by hockey, so we are now seeking other sports. As the northern permafrost disappears, our golf games will improve.

Do they put Canadians who dare blasphemy like that in witness protection programs?
