Re: Re:
For Australians it's better than okay at that time of year. I like the cricket moderately but I've turned off the round ball completely. I used to hate basketball but I like watching the NBA also the NFL.

Re:
That essentially sums up how I feel as well. I guess I will just have to get out on my bike as much as I can

Watch cyclocross. It’s basically the same thing, but with less crosswinds.Dekker_Tifosi said:

Re: Re:
It’s not just the current big two, although they make it much worse than usual. At a certain level it’s the nature of the sport. There’s little tactical element, so the strongest almost always wins and who the strongest is is usually predictable before the race starts or at best soon after. I just can’t get that into it. I can see what’s fun about it as a day out, but ultimately the reasons I love road cycling much more than other racing sports are the tactics and unpredictability.

It's about a third of his posts, he had to be banned for a week last year so people could actually talk about the race instead of justifying its existance...

Re: Re:
Not sure what that says about the rest of the season then ...........SBS don't show Lombardia anymore even online, must be a TV rights issue like with the Giro but they show all of the other monuments. Oddly this year even Eurosport didn't show Lombardia in Australasia. I sign up for Eurosport to watch the Giro, thankfully you only have to keep it for a month but I keep it longer for the NBA playoffs.

Re:
Apparently some of the other stuff is on the Olympic Channel (which is HD only). We just upgraded our DVR/receiver so we'll see next year. Otherwise yeah it's hard to find the races over here on NBC. Tape delayed if we're lucky and none of the races in Italy. (I'm on the other side of the country, coastal NC.)

As a Chiefs fan, the cycling off-season may bring more excitement, after the World Cup triumph, A great '18 cycling season and its massive cherry on the cake that is the topic...I will finally get some time to read and participate in the design thread, hopefully, because that one is a treasure.
Re: Re:
Each race was very exciting though, I still look back on 2011 as my favourite year for watching cycling (probably my first full season of watching it too).
It was amazing that Leopard had podiumed every monument as well that year.

Also in regards to sport for us Aussies it's sad as AFL and NRL are both over, while the cricket has been tarnished a bit by sandpapergate. I'll try watch the cricket but am also looking forward to the NBA, so hopefully that tides me over till the Nats.

Re: Re:
Yea it is just crazy. The NBC gold doesn't seem worth it at all. I usually just read the threads to see what happens than watch a highlight video on YouTube if I get lucky. At the beginning of each year there is a guy called Cycling Hub that posts the last KMs for the races but he usually gets banned by April.
