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,
