Right. I DO want to watch the Tour of California, really I do, but not so much that I'm willing to stay up until 2am on a weeknight to do it. I know some of it has to do with advertising, but what do you think Versus has on primetime that night? Greatest Bull-Riding Falls, or something? World Extreme Cagefighting maybe? Certainly nothing that has tons more advertising cache...

However I did watch Tour of Qatar last night. The coverage wasn't fantastic but it was good to see a little bike racing again.
I so agree. Although I am recording it, I honestly believe for one week Bull Riding and Cagefighting could have taken a back burner. I think Versus underestimates how many viewers they have for the Tour.
