So that's american viewership? Even with the drop, it's still double that it was in 2002 so there was major carryover after Lance. And I think if Floyd had not tested positive for doping, the viewership would be even greater this year.

It's gotta be pretty hard to establish ratings for something like that. I mean, there's over a 100 hours of coverage, what counts as 'watching the TdF'?

Was reading an article yesterday saying Versus has 2 more Tours under contract. Interesting to see what might happen after the contract runs out.

I stopped watching after Freddie Rodriguez crashed out last year. I'm guessing most American viewers did likewise.
No Fast Freddie = Ratings Disaster.
Who won it all, anyway?
