  1. Whether coincidental or not, it's cool to see something suggested in
    r.b.r and watch it happen the next day on OLN. Kirsten Gum smiles more, Bobke pulls out the
    telestrator, questions asked here & answered on TV.

    I'd love to see a next-day or prime-time telestrated overhead view of some of these sprints, with a
    few key riders pointed out during the last X00 meters and talk about what's happening to them or
    what they're trying to do. Hopefully there's enough long-form helo-view video available.

    (I liked the Flash-animated sprint replays in 2001 on www.letour.fr. Are they still available
    anywhere?)

    Similarly, there was tube-talk earlier about how domestiques protect team leaders in the peloton. I
    think it'd be really cool to watch a couple minutes of isolation on this going on, with a
    description of the tactics, techniques and difficulties.

    Oh, and see if you can work in some interviews and analysis by a scantily-clad Odessa Gunn.

    It would not surprise me at all. Many corporations use filters to monitor usenet and the web. In
    smaller industries, it is not uncommon to assign humans to monitor highly relavant NGs. Does OLNTV
    consider RBR "highly relavant"? Possibly. Jeff Jones may have some comments. I am fairly certain
    that Velenoews monitors this NG and I am not talking about O'Grady.

    Nope. All the other guys are working for a living. Me, I'm a "free-lancer," which means I have lots
    of spare time to troll newsgroups, [censored] sites and The New York Times for interesting tidbits.

  4. With the mountains approaching, perhaps OLN can get Bob Roll "in the saddle" to demonstrate how the pros tackle some of the switchbacks on the major climbs.

    There is definitely an art to doing it, keeping your momentum while creating the most efficient line through each corner. Keep up the good work, Bobke!
