To The Producers of the Tour de France on Versus, and to Phil, Paul, Bob, and Craig,
Thank you for the beautiful coverage of the Tour de France again this year. For Americans, Versus is our pipeline to this great event.
The live coverage is incredible. This is the first year that I've had the free time to watch from the rollout of the first stage through the podium presentation on the Champs. There is no other event like this, and no other sports show that comes close to the epic scope of your Tour production.
I can only imagine the logistical difficulty of following the Tour around France for a month, while being away from friends and family.
I hope Versus continues to cover the Tour in the years to come, and that you're able to broaden and deepen your coverage of this spectacle.
Thanks again,
Kevin

Hear hear
Versus had an announcement up on their website that they have secured the rights to broadcast the Tour de France through 2013.

I second that!
Also add thanks to Robbie and Frankie too! It was a fun team to follow along with this year.

Agree - better coverage
This was better coverage than the past I think. When I think about trying to find info about Lemond and Eric heiden (from my state) back in the day – it is amazingly better. Heck that tool lust is around to – I’m even thinking about a Skil bench!

My cable company
didn’t carry OLN – VS until just a few years ago, so no matter what snarks I may make about the ads or tapout promos, I’m still very thankful that I have the daily coverage and get to share this race around France.

Bravo Versus! Add my gratitude to the list for Versus and TiVo.
Although I did watch a few hours live and paid my dues in commercial viewing time. I didn’t fast forward through them all of the time.

I have to say thanks to Versus and Phil & Paul
Without them, I would have never deciced to quit smoking and take up cycling. So, I’ll always have a soft spot for those guys.
If I just had one more gear, I...
