I'm trying to stay with this tour, but today really was unbelievable.
Another awful "telecast", if one could call that a telecast. It was more like listening on radio, but even worse. The riders were quite literally never seen at all today, except on the finishing straight. Bad weather was once again to blame, but really, that is a lame excuse considering that all tours have bad weather, and they never get completely blacked-out. Even in good weather the coverage here can be quite sketchy. I just don't know what the problem is in this tour, but it happens every year, and it is quite unwatchable.
I appreciate NBC/SN and the coverage they have of cycling, but the sponsors, or whoever is in charge of the telecast need to get their acts together, or maybe it's time for NBC to consider dropping this tour and picking up another one.
