OLN has been one of the best things to happen to cycling in the US
recently. Mitzi living in Antwerp right now they have coverage live
on 6 channels in 4 languages. M and I have been talking about the
different coverage and they don't have the profiles and history
segments that OLN does. This year before the Giro and Tour they have
had 1 hour specials that give a deep history on the beginnings of the
races. Sure some of the announcers are idiots, but even the best
announcers had to start somewhere. Everybody remember when Phil
Liggett used to be drug through the cycling press for butchering most
of the riders names? He's gotten much better. Personally I'm just
happy that now I can go into a bar and tell them to put it on OLN so
I can see the race and nobody looks at me funny.
enjoy,
