What I would really like to see more than anything is coverage of American stage races. Criteriums and circuit races would be the most attractive to new American audiences anyway, just like in the early Colorado stage races. If the media powers that be decide that's not marketable enough then maybe just short pieces on American riders like Andrew Talansky, Taylor Phinney, and Tejay van Garderen in the European stage races edited down for short teasers on ESPN or one of the other American sports shows just to generate interest.

Even I don't follow the European races as much as when Americans are involved in them and I prefer the long European coverage of those when I'm watching.....But I'm a pedal pushing cycling nut and not most Americans. What I don't like sitting through are unedited individual and team time trials and I know I ain't alone in those sentiments.
