Today is the prologue of the Vuelta a España, the Tour of Spain. This is the last of the three major tours (the others being the Giro d´Italia and Tour de France) this season, and I was hoping to catch it on tv (since it's a crappy rainy day and I won't be out riding myself).
Guess when it's on, the coverage of this major three-week bicycle race?
It isn't every day, live, with three or four rebroadcasts in case you missed it.
It isn't a tape-delayed broadcast each evening.
It isn't a highlight show every morning at 2 a.m. because they didn't want to pre-empt anything important like bass fishing.
Nope. It is a one hour show on September 18, the day the race will finish in Madrid.
Sixy whole minutes! Wow. It's great to be a cycling fan these days.
