If you can figure out the VS Television schedule your a better man than I.
It doesn't even show up on Yahoo TV listings where I live.
Thanks for this post though.

I tried to figure that out, too and I'm pretty sure it's Eastern Time. Wish I had tivo...

Versus coverage is 1 PM tomorrow, PST. Got it Tivo'd.
Is Lance riding? Also, is he doing the TOC? I know he originally said he was going to ride it, but perhaps now he's bailed.

Yes, Lance is riding the Tour Down Under. As far as his plans for TofC, I doubt he would pull out. This is the local coming out party for cycling in the US.
Don't have tivo/dvr. So I tried setting the good old VCR. But the one button needed on the remote to set the time doesn't work! Damn, 90's electronics.

Is that VCR sitting next to your 8-track player?
Last I heard LA was not doing the TOC. Can anyone confirm?
Actually, according to this article dated yesterday, he is riding in the TOC:

Armstrong's plans include the Amgen Tour of California next month; the Giro d'Italia in May, considered the second-most-prestigious event on the calendar; and the Tour de France in July. His Astana team -- Armstrong says he is taking no salary -- is led by 2007 Tour de France winner Alberto Contador and 2008 Tour of California champion Levi Leipheimer.

Oh, SNAP! :lol: (dl33, I'm also stuck in the VCR era, and not only that, I don't have cable. But the worst thing is having to connect to the internet through my rotary phone...)

No 8-track here. I have a turntable with an arm and needle?
