My Tivo recorded some CBS sports special, so I scanned through it. It had a tour update that showed that bad crash where a couple guys went over the barrier. (and the T-Mobile guy finished the stage with rocks stuck in his helmet.)

The announcer said - "The tour needs to do something to keep the riders from going so close together - or someone will eventually be hurt worst."

Jeez - at least they could get someone that at least knew a little about cycling to cover it....

Get OLN.

 

[Echo]

Yeah OLN is actually doing a nice job of covering the Tour.

Okay, I should have qualified that - other than OLN.

Although the stage today was 5 hours long. My TiVo recorded it, and it even took forever to scan through!

The CBS tour "finale" has been rediculous the last few years. They do a one hour show that summarizes the entire tour. I mean, why bother?

when I was little, my dad and I watched the tour.
It took me a while to figure out that the tour was longer than one day.

I'm enjoying the OLN coverage, even if Trautwig is part of it.

another vote for OLN, isnt CBS's segment like 20minutes long. And OLNS is more like an hour and a half. And they dont say too much in the way of stupid:heart: :heart: :heart:

OLN covers it live in the morning and then repeats it from 8pm to 11pm each night. I don't think we could ask for anything more.

I'll probably miss tonight's coverage, but plan to watch tomorrow's ITT live.

Trautwig has gotten better but he is still horrible at the live commentary. Last night after Landis finished there was minutes of silence interrupted only by Al the Trout giggling and screaming "god damn" when dessel crashed. I don't know why they think people would prefer to hear him and Bobke over the two brits.

I got home from work yesterday just in time to see the last 90 minutes of the 1st replay from yesterday.

so when do I get to get some more red rep, because I see all these othere people who are obviously better than I.
