Who needs a sport when you can have some good show business ?  |

Yes! One of the few races I get to watch live every year. Pretty sad that NBC doesn't broadcast the Giro but will show the Amgen live for each stage. Just goes to show how the majority of Americans hate supporting sports that are foreign based (like soccer, which I also love that gets minimal coverage). Which means I only get to see the TDF (which I'm surprised they still show that now that Lance isn't competing  ) and California. I really should move to Europe ... 
Actually, NBC does show the Giro. On Universal Sports. Gotta love my Direct TV. 
You probably also missed:
TDU, Paris Nice, Tirrenno Adriatico, Volta Catalunya, Pais Vasco, Milan San Remo, Roubaix, RVV, Romaindie, the Giro, Tour of Cali, Dauphine, Suisse, TDF, Pologne, the Vuelta, USAPCC, Lombardia and the world champs.
I watch them all! Get Direct TV, and you can too! And live for some! And no, I'm not just advertising, just trying to be helpful.

Yeah, convincing them was the toughest part, but we ordered the channel individualy. Anyway, The tour of cali is always could for me to see my favorite riders actually win something.

Direct TV FTW!!!!!!
Anyway, will their be a bet for this? I really need some cash from Horner.
If you think about it, there's really no one else who can contend- either they don't have the form or don't want to waste themselves. You saw last year with Schleck and the others.

I was looking forward to a duel between Horner and Leipheimer(going for Horner though). It really sucks Levi got injured.

Still no love for Van Garderen in this chain. Horner's gonna act his age soon. As has been pointed out Nibali and Gesink aren't here to win. BMC will be motivated since they could do with some wins. |

When Horner starts to decline, you can say that. Di you see him in Tirreno? Probably not. Van Garderen is good in the mountains, but his specialty is time trialing. Don't overestimate his climbing.

Tejay will more than likely win the young riders competition easily, but isn't ready to contend for the GC just yet.

We always save the shitty weather for the ToCa. It's been in the high 80's and 90's for weeks and at the moment it looks like rain. Tour Tracker by the way

Commercials every minute on the Tour Tracker 
I think its partly because of picture breakup though.
I feels so good to be watching so much cycling again!

It looks like they skipped showing the descent off King's ridge, which even in the fog would have made for great viewing. The directors aren't very good.

Well, that TourTracker is filled with additional information, and the picture quality is brilliant for stream standards.
