Discovery says Flanders Shmanders.....

from the AP:
Armstrong initially planned to spend April competing in one-day races
in Belgium and the Netherlands. Instead, he entered the Georgia event,
which begins April 19 in Augusta and culminates five days later in
suburban Atlanta.


Looks like Discovery is calling the shots. TdF. Georgia instead of
Flanders and LBL and other obscure European bike races.

$20 says that there are MORE fans at TdG than Paris-Roubaix in 2005.
Heck, make it $100!

Doesn't Lance have the right to pick his races, when and where, within
certain obligations ( eg TdF this year or the next ?). Why would Discovery
have the right to nix the Hour ? It has always been something Lance has
considered since his 1st years at Motorola. It would be the perfect show for
them, they could do a live special, a nice neat package to air again and
again and again ( like reruns of Walarus at American Chopper )
