Subject: How to watch Giro?

Apparently Versus, formerly OLN, has decided that they didn't get
rid of enough bike fans by getting rid of the Vuelta, so they
have now killed the Giro! My cable company only carries Versus,
not EuroSport.
What are they thinking? You'd think that the advertisers would
like to see continuous daily Giro coverage to hold their viewers,
or at least weekly summaries like last year's inadequate
broadcasts. I can't believe that f***ing bullriding keeps
getting more and more time, while cycling keeps getting cut.
And when will Versus get rid of that idiot Bob Troutmouth?

Rai International, if your cable provder carries it:
http://www.international.rai.it/engl/areas/americas/index.shtml
They also have shown M-SR and Tirreno-Adriatico.

we had the same problem here in canada with Evasion. They had the giro
last year, live coverage from italian tv (with french commentary). This
year they decided it was too much of a hassle so now they only show the
TDF. They never showed the vuelta or anything else.
As i figured, once lance retired, they all probably figured ehhh.... who
gives a big rat's &ss about cycling anyways....they're a bunch of skinny
guys with shaved legs.

Don't spend gobbs on $ on that new bike, take a trip to Europe, like
anywhere in Italy, take your bike, watch the Giro everyday and
ride....Round trip tickets can be had for $500 or so, find some
fleabag hostel, eat food from a grocery store, cook in the common
kitchen..probably the whole smear for $1000, $1500..MUCH less than
those stoopid wheels.

Dennis,
You can pay Cycling.TV about $20 and have the coverage of the Tirreno
Adriatico, Milano - San Remo, and the Monday through Saturday stages of
the Giro. You'll still have to watch the Sunday stages on Versus, same
as last year.
You might also want to browse
http://www.media.rai.it
to reach the Italian TV Web site.
There was some pretty good coverage (highlights, talk shows, pretty
women) there last year.
