I'm no cyclist, but I enjoy a great story. Slaying the Badger brings us a rivalry that is as good as any other sport. The names may not be as familiar, but in the mid-late 80s, this rivalry essentially gave rise to the current popularity of the Tour de France to American audiences and, though scandal has plagued the sport recently, during these earlier days it was all about pushing yourself to the limit - and sometimes beyond.
