Wrapup TDF show?

Kovie said:

Does anyone know if OLN, ESPN, etc., plans to broadcast a "wrapup" show on
the Tour de France any time soon? Seems kind of anticlimactic for coverage
to end just minutes after Lance won his 7th and officially retired, and an
era basically ended. Plus, I can't imagine that the ratings potential for
such a show would go unexploited.

You have to wait a year. Next year, instead of broadcasting
the 2006 TdF, OLN will re-air the 2005 TdF to satisfy this demand.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but what you said is very, very
true. It's going to be "almost all Lance" next year sad to say.

I have no idea of course, being Urappeyan myself. I do notice however that
someone has posted a pre-Tour interview with Armstrong on
alt.binaries.multimedia.sports, almost 50 minutes, WMV9 320x240, Dutch
subtitles and commentary, lots of archive footage.

I think OLN gets in trouble with people who produce TdF videos - I found
OLN's wrap shows in the past a fine substitute.

OLN is playing an LA interview on August 2 and repeating it August 6 - I
think that's about all we get.

Ed, that's pretty funny.

I'd be willing to bet that out of sight - out of mind rules here. Lance
won't want to talk to anyone for a month and then he'll be a manager of
some sort and will be so tightly focused on that he won't want to
discuss what HE might have done in any particular situation.

George has now won the hardest mountain stage in the Tour on one of the
hardest years in memory. Anyone think that won't have some really good
effect on his classics riding?

Azevedo really can ride Tour-leader level if given the chance. Manual
Beltran is also someone who could win a grand tour.

Tom Danielson is a big unknown but since he won the Tour of Georgia he
has to be considered as a possible GT winner. Popovych looked good in
his first Tour but no one on Discovery could look too good standing in
Lance's great shadow.

The Spring Classics lineup is even more enviable: Stejn Devolder, Roger
Hammond, Ryder Hesjedal, Leif Hoste and Max van Heeswijk are a
spectacular group both as team leaders which all of them are capable of
being, to supporting George Hincapie. I'm not sure that Bruyneel is a
great a spring classics strategist as he is for grand tours. Perhaps he
can think about that over the winter since maintaining a team the size
and cost of Discovery Channel is going to take a lot of wins keeping
them in the spot light. Mapei and Quick Step certainly had a good
strategist and hopefully someone in Discovery could match them.
