they would be crazy not to, right?

OLN does not own the weekend rights, NBC does.

As another person has already written: OLN will provide exclusive live and replay coverage of the Tour de France through Sunday. OLN will broadcast Stage 19 multiple times on Saturday. CBS not NBC will air a review of the Tour de France on Sunday from 5-6 PM EDT. Incidentally, CBS has done so for many years now. I can't recall a time when NBC did.

I wouldn't count on it. They only gave it about and hour when Lance Armstrong won, so it is doubtful they'll dedicate much time this year, even if American Floyd Landis wins.
OLN broadcasts the tour daily. But in recent years, NBC or ABC has bought exclusive rights to the final day, preventing OLN from covering it.. But this year it looks like OLN is scheduled to broadcast the entire final stage live.

OLN is owned by CBS, not NBC. It's like the connection between ESPN and ABC. CBS will broadcast a wrap-up special on the Tour on Sunday evening, 5 p.m. eastern time.

That would be cool, but OLN may have an exclusive deal.
