    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.

    Why does someone who wins a 6-day race against America's "finest" riders
    like ClitPro have to be considered a possible GT winner?

    Let me guess, in your universe "is a big unknown" means that he "is a big
    known"?

    TD could very well be the next big American GT star, but I think his
    performances in the Tour de Langkawi speak louder than his TdG win.

    Yeah, and we saw how brilliantly Lance rode in the Tour of Langdawi. As well
    as other early season races. Why that is probably his defining moments. Not
    to mention a 3rd in the Vuelta. Why that Lance really stood out in GT's
    before 1999. Oh, wait, he did win the Tour de Trump. Just like Danielson won
    the Tour de Georgia. Do you suppose that MIGHT mean something?

    Mabe because he can climb and can time trial and is training toward
    being a GT rider/winner

    Why would ESPN even care about the Tour? They bailed many years ago.

    Because, um, they're a sports channel, and while they no longer carry daily
    stages, I can see why they'd be interested in doing a wrapup special,
    especially with Lance's retirement. In the past OLN didn't carry the final
    stage (I think CBS or ESPN did), so there's a precedent for another channel
    butting at or near the end, when viewership is likely to be greater.

    Quoted message said:

    In the past OLN has had a wrap-up show.

    Past isn't always prologue, I suppose. Perhaps Al Trautwig ran off with
    Kirsten Gum...

    I'm sure that someone will do a wrapup show eventually, but I guess we'll
    have to wait and see. Personally, I'd like to see the sort of film-based
    sports documentary on Lance that used to be done on the olympics, or perhaps
    an Imax film. Obviously, a topic deserving of this.
