I love watching OLN, and enjoy listening to their commentary, and think that they do a great job with their coverage of the Tour.
But, every weekend CBS, NBC, ABC, or some other network plays the Tour for an hour or so. They always try to turn the race into some kind of Poetic Melodrama. I can remember when Armstrong was racing. 10 minutes of the coverage would talk about the "majestic mountains" of France, the next 25 minutes would talk about Armstrong's Cancer, and the remainder of the time after commercials (usually a total of 8 minutes) would address the race itself. Why does their coverage have to be so cheesy? Does it really do the sport of professional cycling any justice?
