I saw Lance last year on Mont Ventoux, a brilliant performance. I really do hope that he can ride in yellow again, to Paris. Only he can acchieve what nobody did before. Wish him good luck, we count on you Lance !

I’ve enjoyed going to Radio Shack for a long time. I’m really happy to see the hooked up with Pro Cycling. The RS Pro Cycling team has a serious chance to win some major tours this season and I hope it’s so. My thanks and support to Radio Shack. Spare no expense because we all want to see RS excell!

Great piece, Larry, and totally agree with your perspective — fine time to become a road cycling race fan!

LOVE to see the sport reach a whole new level of excitement and followers through TRS, L.A.’s return, and the other elite riders on the squad!

Glad I have Dishnetwork, they tried to drop Vs. a year or two ago and the complaints evidently worked because they brought it back soon.

Forget Versus Isn’t there someother channel that Direct TV can carry and present the Tour. Last summer, DirectTV carried USsport which carry the tour of Spain or something. Why isn’t Radio Shack upset about the apparent lack of coverage in the US

I used to watch Greg Lemond race on Saturday morning on Wide World of Sports.You could only get about a 15 or thirty minute blurb about what was going on.Imade sure I was in front of the TV when the show came on.You had to watch an hour of what ever sport was most popular just to catch a small dose of bike racing.I loved it then and I love it now,30years later.That’s a bike race fan

I had to watch the Tour Down Under recaps on YouTube. Wish it was covered live in the US.

Hopefully Versus/Comcast and Directv can reach a deal soon. I’m sure Versus misses the pool of 18 million customers that Directv offers.

I think he can win it again. I saw potential victory last year. He made a major tactical error on the climb where Basso broke. The guy he was wheeling was clearly going to tank and was a perfect decoy for the brothers.

Hey, its bad luck to let anyone other than the mechanic and the racer to touch a race bike on the day of the event.

Hey, I just moved to a different part of Pennsylvania just to get my Versus channel back to watch. I think that qualifies me as a bike race fan.
