Is it Too Much to Hope...


 


...that next year's Tour de France television coverage might not be the "Lance Armstrong in Absentia" show?

It's also pretty pathetic how focused the OLN coverage is on the various Americans cycling in this year's Tour. Are American fans really so insular that we can't be bothered to watch an international sporting event if there isn't an American featured every 7.37 seconds?

On second thought, don't answer that.

Also, with all of the spectacular falls that have been caused by various idiotic jerks interfering with the racers over the years, what on earth possesses people to lean over the barriers, waving their hands (and other objects)? I'm really glad Thor Hushovd's injuries weren't any worse.
