It's too bad that NBC Sports can only be bothered to broadcast a half hour of cycling coverage. Guess it's better than nothing.Originally Posted by ny biker

They haven't yet posted a schedule for the rest of the year. I imagine they're still deciding how much coverage to provide, based on their attempts to gauge how much interest will drop off given the whole thing with Lance. Also they've picked up Formula 1 racing this year and some of the grands prix will conflict with live coverage of the big bike races, including the TdF, so they'll need to work that out.
I don't remember how much they showed of the TdU last year but I don't think it was much. The time difference probably has something to do with it. They did actually cover a fair amount of races over the course of the entire year.
The TdU could be broadcast in full online; I haven't looked for information about that.

OUCH! The TdU webpage is almost completely unreadable!

Thanks again for posting these schedules, nyb. I tried searching on the msnbc website last week and couldn't find anything, so I'm relieved.
I really hope they continue coverage.'02 Eddy Merckx Fuga, Selle An Atomica
