  1. I know OLN's Senior VP of Programming (obviously, someone
    who has never ridden a bike or traveled to Europe) would
    love to know how everyone feels about the great coverage of
    the Cutters. Please email him at [email hidden] With
    guys like him running the network, its amazing they are
    still in business.

    The Cutters, a group of five friends from Philadelphia, are
    fanatic fans(IDIOTS WITH NO JOBS) of the Tour de France.
    They have traveled to the Tour for the past several
    years(MOOCHING OFF OF EVERYONE) and will tell the story of
    the Tour as only they experience it – from behind-the-scenes
    interviews with the athletes to tips on how to survive life
    on the back roads of the French countryside in a crowded RV.
    The group has become well known along the Tour route because
    they can often be spotted dressed as Uncle Sam and carrying
    what has become their unofficial mascot, an inflatable
    killer whale.

    "OLN is covering the Tour from every angle, and this show
    will really give the viewer a unique perspective of what it
    is like to be at the event." said Marc Fein, Senior Vice
    President of Programming and Production. "These guys will
    help our audience experience the carnival-like atmosphere
    that follows these riders from stage to stage."(THESE GUYS
    ARE AN EMBARRISHMENT TO AMERICANS AND TRUE CYCLING FANS
    EVERYWHERE)

    "The first year we went to the Tour, we set out to be the
    biggest, baddest fans on the course (BIGGEST MUCH OF IDIOTS)
    and I think we've accomplished that," said Cutters'
    spokesperson and founder Tom Shaw. "The riders know us now
    and really respond to us on the course. (YEAH WITH THE
    MIDDLE FINGER) The Roadside Tour gives us the opportunity to
    share our experience and show people why this event is the
    greatest sporting event on the planet."

    Hans Rey's segments will focus on the cultural aspects of
    the Tour, taking an irreverent look at some of the
    traditions and characters surrounding this legendary
    endurance event.

    In response to last year's critically acclaimed and record-
    breaking coverage of the Tour, OLN will enhance this year's
    Tour programming to include a morning pre-race show
    beginning at 8:30 AM followed by the LIVE coverage. In
    addition to airing replays of the coverage and The Roadside
    Tour, OLN will also air an expanded prime time show.

  2. If you don't like the Cutter's why don't you non-cutters
    coverage??

    huh...

    If you don't like the Cutters why don't you watch the non-
    Cutters coverage?

    If everybody sends an email, they might get these clowns off
    the air and tell us about the riders. Yeah, remember them,
    those guys on the funny-lookin', two-wheeled contraptions?
    That's what it's all about!

  5. I like the Cutters. I think they will draw in non cycling
    sports fans and it is refreshing that cycling has super fans
    like other major network sports.

  6. There's plenty of variety in OLN's coverage, if you want
    straight up race coverage, then get out of bed earlier.

    I'm loving all of it!

    I can see the cutters being with the same morrons and idiots
    that runs next to the racer in moutains climbs, i can very
    well see them doing that.

    I think it s a good idea to want to show another perspective
    of the Tour, but it should be done in a more subtile manner
    that what it s done by the Cutters.

  10. Lets put the Cutters on for next year's Masters or better
    yet Wimbledon. I am sure GOlfers and Tennis players would
    really embrace their unique style of humor

    Truely it makes me cringe to be an American. These guys are
    an embarrassment. I mean its fine if its the Tour de
    Georgia, but for god's sake not in Europe. I mean, they
    already have to suffer through Bush...
