They also had every stage of all of the early stage races: Paris-Nice, T-A, Basque Country, Oman (most boring race ever?), Romandie etc. All of this was in HD. It was the first time I've seen a lot of these races. It was the first time I've seen any of them in HD on cable. They even broadcasted the Little 500 from IU in HD this year. The Little 500, it turns out, is a ton of fun to watch.

The Giro coverage seems fine. Video is excellent: clean full HD (is this a first for the Giro in the US). Commentary is typical B-string European guys sitting in a studio somewhere.
