OLN and TdF

The traditional evening replay is cancelled! Live coverage in the AM only!? Doesn't anyone work anymore?

Holy shit, how sad is society when the Tour is shunned in favour of Survivorman and Mantracker??? Give me a f'in break.

Glad I bought the iMac, gonna get that kickass monitor pumpin some serious online footage each evening!

Jesus, I'm damn pleased I never signed up for cable. Fuck the world.

I guess I'll have to figure out how to use that old VCR in my basement.

Glad I have a DVR :D Saves me from watching the cheesy commercials as well. Although that Contador vs. Schleck Specialized commercial is good for a laugh.

It's not quite as simple as the Tour being shunned by Survivorman and Mantracker. It's in actual fact being shunned by the World Cup. The sister stations of OLN in the US are airing the World Cup games in the evening, however, in Canada CBC owns the rights to the World Cup so that is why we get lame ass shows such as Survivorman and Mantracker. I'm just glad I work from home because it's been a pretty exciting Tour so far and worth watching almost every minute of it.

Wicked Stage 3 today!!! Great ride by Ryder to put himself 4th in the GC and the combative win for the day!!

You can get the entire tour online in HD from the Versus website for 30 bucks.

my above explanation as to why OLN has sucky coverage may have been a little over simplified, however, there's a better explanation on the Canadian Cyclist forums. More importantly there's some great suggestions for alternate viewing options. Check here for the forum thread: http://ccforums.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=8818&st=0

Paid the $30 on Versus. Well worth it so far, high quality feed, and great commentary...

Thanks for that. was able to watch at work.

Great finish to the stage, those roundabouts near the end were intense.
