If you watched and enjoyed, say thanks... maybe they'll pick up more coverage and we won't have to gripe about the other guys any more.

It was definitely awesome getting to follow the Giro while at work. The mornings certainly flew by much faster!

Done, even though I really watched the TV coverage via DVR. Heck, when I saw they'll be covering the World cross championship I was pumped.

a couple of months ago everyone was going ga, ga, over the fact that lance was going to ride the giro. he's the biggest thing, he's great for the sport... yet no one picked up coverage of the race. bearly even got mention on the evening news.

hats off to universal for broadcasting this!

Done, thanks for the link!

Great Giro by the way--I about **** myself when Menchov wrecked in the last km. I was pulling for Di Luca--he did everything he could to get rid of that Menchov/Limpet off his butt. I guess I prefer exciting losers to boring winners.

And now I'm going through withdrawal... I miss getting up at 06:30 Pacific and booting up the bedroom computer to watch the intense race across an amazing landscape. It was really a nice way to wake up each morning... and then watch the DVR replay in the evening when I returned home from work. Good stuff...

Fini!


Here's what I submitted...


Just want to say "Thanks!" for carrying the Grio d'Italia coverage. Appreciate TV coverage of cycling events. If you folks could cover one more non-Tour de France event...pick one:

1. Tour of Switzerland
2. Tour of Spain
3. Paris-Robaix
4. (Maybe a cyclist works for you and has their own choice...)

Covering at least one more major cycling event would be great!

Done, twice already, first week of the Giro and right before the last stage. We get Universal on basic TV here in Denver, I was so freakin' happy when I found out, then the coverage was good too.
