Floyd question!

In general, all medias are a bit chauvinistic. To me, it's not surprising. For example, during the Olympics, in Canada, we always see a lot of Canadian athletes on Canadian TV and sometimes that means missing some of the action elsewhere (especially if said Canadian athletes are not ahead). American TV does the exact same. Why would the French do any differently?

Very true.

I just think this situation is different, because camera crews from other countries are not allowed to film. The French only allow French camera crews... so each country can't get the coverage they want.

I could be wrong though, but I thought I heard that last year.

You're right. Only French camera crews. Just to clarify...I'm not complaining that we didn't see enough Americans...heck, there were only about 10 American's in the race...I'm saying that, IMO, their coverage was bad. It's like the camera crews or the production staff didn't have a clue as to what should be shown when...it's almost like they didn't know anything about cycling. Which is hard to believe since the French are crazy about cycling.
