i just reviewed my vhs tape of the show and didint think there were alot of commercials...the show lasted 90 minutes and there were 10 commercial breaks which added up to about 20 minutes so thats 70 minutes of cycing over 90 minutes...i compare that to a baseball game and they take comercials after every half inning...i think oln was smart...they took more breaks early on but i noticed once floyd started there were no commercials all the way until the end the last 13 minutes had no commericals....think about it - cycling is not like most sports - there are no timeouts and there is no natural breaks likei n baseball - to all the people who complain i ask you what should oln do - stop complaining and find a solution - i assume the commerial time pays for th sport to beon so im all for it!!? fyi - i checked out a bullriding show which was 90 minutes and noticed there was also 10 breaks for about 20 minutes!!
