Probably not. I don't think they did last year and this year the Giro only got Sat/Sun coverage, which stinks! :fight:

Yeah no kidding, I can't take another 345 days of bullriding, calf roping rodeos. It seems like the play that crap alot. One cycling show a week, even a re-run would be better than last years programming.
My sister is moving to Spain next year. My first visit will be at the time of La Vuelta. Already looking at hard bike cases :D

Around the Granada area. Not sure of the Vuelta route for 2006 but it'll see the first stage of this years tour.

Gonzalez will win the Vuelta again, although with Cunego recovering from mono, he could do it too.

OLN sucks if they do not cover more than the tour, on another note, I do not agree with the title of this thread. I like Lance Armstrong and I hope he does what he was talking about in his interview after stg 18 and coaches. Sorry guys quit being hard on the tour and Lance and get over yourselves.
