That's right. You get even and read the "Live reports" Let those other
suckers pay that scandalous 6 bucks.

Why don't we at least figure what they are really going to stream.

The oln site said 6.00 for all week day stages. Which sounds like 6.00
for all. As you say, if it's 6.00 per stage, that's going to add up
real quick. Too quick for my taste. And what about the weekend stages?
Stage nineteen looks like it'll be epic - and falls on a Saturday.

It also sounds like no commentary, just the pictures. Which is better
than nothing, of course. But a little less exciting than it could be.

[censored], maybe I should just switch to baseball. It *would* be easier.
Too bad it's also deadly boring.

Or, do Eurosport streaming audio.

Sorry to be a dumbass, but where did you find the schedule for this?
This looks quite a bit more useful than OLN's stuff. I know only
slightly more Italian than I do Flemish, but at least I can get the
names. And FREE is a beautiful thing.

Cool. Thanks for the URL. On a whim I checked out the RAI feed last
night and they were showing some old footage of Bartali and Coppi
riding the Giro.

Later on they showed some footage of Gimondi and Merckx riding the
Giro and the world championships during the 60's and 70's,
interspersed with more recent interviews with Gimondi, Merckx, Gianni
Motta, etc. There was an interview clip from Italian TV, circa 1983,
with Merckx and Gimondi; and I swear Merckx had his hair slightly
permed. Hehehe.

Overall I caught about an hour and 20 minutes worth of cycling
coverage. And it's all commercial free too!

I copied it from a post on someone made to the OLN cycling/Giro forum.

You can check the daily Rai Sport broadcast schedule at:
http://www2.raisport.rai.it/news/tv.htm
Look at the satellite schedule. Subtract 6 hours for EST.

I haven't figured out how to look beyond the current day.
