Thank you for the BBC links! Much better!! I posted before I saw Chris Hoy, too, very cool.

The cycling coverage on NBC makes me yearn for the features of the TdF broadcasts. It would be so useful to have the overview of how far back the peloton is from the breakaways, how many breakaways there are, how many athletes are in each, how many miles there are to go, and the time, on the screen much more often.

The commentary isn't bad, though, and they've been mostly showing cycling for several hours now. Very cool! It's timely that the Olympics happen so close to the TdF so people are more interested in cycling.

I am having a bit of an issue with time-delayed coverage, I either have to watch the coverage OR read the news, can't do both unless I want the result spoiled. A lot of it is still worth watching, though.
