This is going to be the best American race ever, sorry Coors Classic riders. When was the last time that every great cyclist in the world raced together? It’s been a long fucking time. Unfortunately, I don’t have cable, so I’ll have to seek out torrents and try to avoid cycling news in the meantime. ---

I’m hoping I get some coverage here. I got nothing on the Tour Down Under and only one day of the Tour of Qatar. I get two South African sports stations which show some odd stuff. ---

I think versus has coverage on the internet that you can watch live. they did for the Tour de France in 2007 at least. ---
