  1. 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.

  16. 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.
