Then you're missing the point. There are maybe 100 people in the world that are able to compete regularly in competitive cycling.
No, I'm not missing the point. Those people are great cyclists. What they're doing isn't easy. But that alone doesn't make them great athletes.
If you read my earlier post in this thread after someone mentioned Armstrong's triathalon background (which I didn't really know about), I conceded that factoring that in, he is a great athlete, because he excelled at multiple things at an extremely high level, not just one thing.

Dude, they're competing against other cyclists, they are doing a physical activity, and they have to train for it.
Cycling is a sport, therefore the people who compete in said sport are athletes. Just because it doesn't involve a ball doesn't make them non-athletes.
