Ok, I'm psyched. Who needs to wait for the Tour, when the Giro will be shown live and again on taped re-run on Universal Sports. I just found out last week that I actually get this channel, so I'm totally stoked.

(and yes, I know this link probably won't work, since I still haven't figured out how to do it after all these years, but hope that someone can fix it.)

Link works just fine!
I LOOOOOOVE the Giro. It's a great race, some say harder than "The Tour" and the scenery is just stunning! We'll see just how well the reincarnated and rehabed Armstrong does.

Sweet. I just got the channel last week.

The climbing starts the first week in the Giro. Stage 1 is a team time trial as well.

Lance is reportedly riding in support of Levi.

Doubt my cable package gets "Universal Sports." :(

I don't have an official cable package - get a tv feed through the cable internet connection, I think - but get US as one of the digital channels broadcast through NBC. If you have a digital tuner, and can get the x-y channels, it might be worth it to reprogram the tv and see what pops up.
