Post-Lance Cycling on TV

Or, the lack thereof. Today is the first day of the Amgen Tour of EPO, oops, California and it looks like it could be an interesting race. Too bad most of us won't see this race on TV. Unless, of course, you set your DVD-R or VCR to record ESPN2 from 1:00-2:00 AM each night this week (except for Tuesday when it is on from 2:00-3:00 AM). I guess I'm happy that there is an hour of coverage each day, but that's a pretty low on the totem pole broadcast time. If Lance was racing, you can bet OLN would be giving it some prime coverage. They're not covering it at all. Ever. Not even on one of their Cyclism Sundays. Oh well, it's not like anyone other than Lance can race a bicycle and besides, cycling isn't a real sport anyway.
