Sir or Madam,

First off, let me commend you for providing cycling
coverage. I've been an intense fan of European cycling
since the late 80s, and I'm thrilled that you're providing
coverage of the classics, the Vuelta, Giro and Tour. That
being said, let me provide some constructive criticism of
your evening tour coverage:

1. Try to back off on the 'Lance Fest' attitude. Yeah,
Lance is great, and its great that an American is
doing well. The Tour is the Tour, though, and there
are 180 other riders, and thousands of other stories.
The tour will be around after Lance is gone. There's a
good chance that your coverage won't, though, if you
can't generate interest in the sport above and beyond
the personality of Lance.

2. The live coverage with Phil and Paul is great.
However, I believe all the 'extras' added to the
evening coverage actually takes away from the quality
of the show as compared to the live coverage.

3. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't show "the cutters" ever
again. Those guys are the epitome of unfunny,
douchebag, jock-sniffing [censored], and watching them
make fools of themselves on a daily basis makes me
cringe. Your encouragement is not what they (or the
rest of us) need. With the example that those guys
provide it's no wonder Europeans think Americans are
dumbasses.

Dude.... if you had a job you would not even notice the
Cutters piece. I only saw them once, for a few minutes, on
Monday's holiday.

NO ONE is FORCING you to watch the Tour 4 times/day!!!!

Regards, Kenneth

How about Al Trautwig?

I loved his discussion with Carmichael during yesterdays pre-
race show about echelons! I never new the physics behind
them -- that they "form a wing" and allow the riders
literally "to take off."

Gosh, there goes an echelon right past my tenth story window
as we speak! And all this time, I've been duped into
believing that I had to buy airline tickets to fly
somewhere!

This guy says some damn stupid things. I've never seen a
more uniformed sports commentator. I was actually
embarrassed for him yesterday!

Bring back Kristin Gum -- at least she was nicer to look at
than that moron Trautwig.

Also, what's with Bob Roll's hand gestures. I thought he was
having epileptic seizure yesterday during the pre-race show.
Either get the man some sedatives, or tie those hands down.

What's that, Mr. Gooserider...?

As soon as the suit at OLN read the words, "douchebag, jock-
sniffing [censored]" he deleted your email.

OLN reads RBR dumbass! How many fellow cyclists have
you goosed?

Why did OLN cut away to commercial without warning with
under 3 miles to the finish and the peleton on the verge of
catching up the the lead group of 4 in stage 6 today? Why
did they roll back the tape to around 5 miles to go when
coverage resumed? Why did they then cut away to commercial
suddenly yet again with around 2 miles to go an a solo
breakaway from the lead group in progress? And why, when
coverage resumed, was the race all over with no word on that
breakaway? Was this some sort of technical glitch, or is
this a reflection of what OLN thinks of its cycling viewers?
I was specifically watching the first repeat coverage of
today's stage, so it wasn't even live. This is not how to
cover the tour.

And what's with the 20+ reruns of all those "Lance
Chronicles" segments? Is it that hard to come up with new
programming? How many times do we have to see Lance chew
out "College" for making bad coffee? Is OLN a cash-poor
takeover target?

What are 'the cutters'? I am limited (heheh) to RAI coverage
of the Tour.

"The Cutters" are a reference to a classic cycling film (not
American Flyers, the other one) referring to local townies
who form a cycling team to take on local college jocks in a
stadium relay race, along with some pros thrown in. OLN has
recreated these "Cutters" in the Tour this year as a group
of loud, obnoxious, ugly Americans wreaking havoc for
international etiquette as they follow the Tour. Today's
interview of Tyler seems pretty good though. Maybe we're
getting through and they're toning it down. Jeez that guy
(Hamilton) has class.

I don't think OLN created the Cutters. They Cutters
have been around for a while. They are just
"capitalizing" on them.

Check my words. The OLN keyword of the day is "REcreated."

Actually they're okay in small doses IMO. They've recently
focused more on "wish you were here" pieces about
living/visiting France, which is vaguely interesting to a
non-world-traveler like myself.
