thats great. they always have a great clear picture...
but the restricted picture size is a reeal drawback. i always try to
find a site that allows a full screen even with some loss of
quality. its a trade off.

id be happy to find out im mistaken and universals picture can be
expanded, but i dont think it can be.

It's not a foregone conclusion that Universal Sports TV will carry
it. From what I've read, part of the issue was streaming/online vs.
TV rights.

Hopefully Universal Sports TV (or Versus or whoever) will carry it in
addition to Universal's streaming. I did a search on "cycling" on my
program guide and Universal Sports shows only:

Mountain Biking World Championships
Tour of Basque Country, Highlights
World Championship Women's Cyclo-Cross
World Championship Men's Cyclo-Cross

A search for "Giro" shows no hits. Hopefully that'll change between
now and Saturday.

Wow, looks like steephill.tv is reporting that Universal Sports TV
will be showing it at Noon and in primetime (presumably each day).
Woohoo!

no, that sucks.

it's hard enough being motivated to do actual work at work these
days. this just adds to the distraction list.

Yeah.

I'm hoping it's only online and not on TV. My wife got us a big screen
TV and it's a total mind/time suck that I have trouble resisting when
cycling is on.
