I hope Universal Sports broadcasts others....we've become addicted to that channel.
Yes I was going to post about this - I've never heard of this channel, but I started getting it when I upgraded to an hd dvr a couple of months ago. The other night I found that they were broadcasting the Basque tour, so I've been recording it every night and watching it the next day. The announcers are kind of generic sounding, but they seem to understand bike racing. And I'm fascinated by the fact that everyone seems to have their own personal way to pronounce "Bouygues" - my favorite so far is "bweeg." (So what's the correct way to say that word, anyway?)

BTW I'm glad to hear that Chris Horner has not broken his wrist. He is the man!
