Wondering if anyone has any knowledge of whether/how the Vuelta will be covered in the US? Is NBC/'Versus' carrying it?
Need to schedule next fix!
It was eleven more than necessary.

What the hell is Universal Sports? Anyone know if Vuelta coverage is available online, for a price?

Universal Sports is another NBC sports channel, which I do have! 
DirectTV bitches!  Of course, watching Eurosport is better cause the commentators on Universal are worse than Phil and Paul. At leats they usually get the call right though.

would Eurosport online show this live? Is there a fee? Where is Jimmy Hoffa?

Universal Sports usually offers these online... at least, the Giro was available the last two years (for $20, if I remember right).
EDIT: Just checked, looks like it'll be available: https://universalsports.com/2012/05/17...-a-espana/. Doesn't seem to be any option to get it now, but I'm assuming there'll be one closer to the start of the race.
I do have to agree, the commentators there are pretty awful (assuming they use the same ones that do the Giro).

Bah, another item in the 'Move Back to Europe?' spreadsheet's + column.

I am. It was a new channel last Auhust, therefore it is not included if the package was bought prior. All you have to do is call up and ask for it, that's what I did.

They always do the same ones  The one that gets on my nerves the most is Todd Gagolski (or something like that).
He was doing the commentary for the Tour of Utah and I was across the street from were they were shooting a promo of him next to the capitol building. He kept on messing up and they kept having to start over, after like 20 failed attempts the person in charge (the tv manager or something) was getting seriously pissed and started yelling at him and then stormed off to his car  |

Well, scratch the Universal Sports online idea... just got an e-mail from them saying they're about to (starting Friday) limit their online offerings to only those who get their TV channel. No more money for them from me, then. |
