Needs more Thor

I am disappointed in this effort from the Norwegians

umm, that was awesome. How do I get Norwegian TV instead of VERSUS?

Thanks for sharing – was quite fun to watch and gets me excited…

Really? I'll watch it again

but I was very unimpressed with this montage, except the commentators… they were great.

Hehehee!

That was fun :)

(For me, not so much for Thor…)

Oh yeah - totally worth the watch.

See – love that kind of reaction because it’s so honest…

Didn't you watch the TdS today?

Paul told us 166666 times that he is really excited to see how Lance does in the ITT on Sunday…doesn’t get any more honest and human than that…
(although I guess we shouldn’t slam Versus for being biased when we applaud the Norwegians for being so biased but I always expect better from US channels unless it is an international team competition like the WC).

But I'm sure the Norwegians don't treat their audience like 5 year olds

and get 5 million things wrong in a show and don’t insult the competitors and don’t mention Thor over and over again when he isn’t even involved in anything…and yeah Versus still sucks ass.

It may be

but for years I couldn’t get VS at all on my cable network, so no matter what their problems may be, it’s still cycling and it’s still the TdF – so I’m thankful

by Katiek on Jun 21, 2010 4:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

especially since the tdf starts two weeks from today

I just wish the Cdn OLN would say anything about the Tour

their website no longer even has it listed as a “program” as they did before, their schedule only goes up to June 25, there’s nothing in their news or upcoming sections about the Tour, so I just really hope they’re still showing it!

by guidemd on Jun 19, 2010 12:25 AM EDT reply actions  

at least you can stream it from bvls.eu (hopefully)

I would be grumpy if there wasn’t at least the tour coverage on tv, but internet feeds for racing is just so cool.

well someone sure as shit did
