It appears that they believe that the Landis situation is a serious threat to their business model.
Yeah, I don't really understand the tone of these emails from Cycling TV, most of their coverage was bought and sold before any of the real fallout from operation puerto/phloydtosterone and they really seem to be turning up the volume to sell the Vuelta. I think maybe buying the Vuelta feed was a bit of a risk or maybe they did it months ago and are just now feeling the pinch. In spite of my issues with the quality of the coverage I'll be ponying up again just so I can have something slightly interesting to watch over coffee at 5 AM.
