But does this mean that the generous broadcasting online to the world of il Giro & MilanSanRemo is going to become pay-per-view?

hope not
It's almost impossible. In Italy, it IS impossible... the Giro is one of those 7 events (not sure about the number) that MUST be broadcasted free by law. In the world it would be a suicide, during an age when the Giro is trying to get a broader attention worldwide.

It already happened (in the 60's - 70's the Giro was considered bigger than the Tour) so it can happen again.
The july thing is an issue, yes. The history isn't.

Lol let's not exaggerate.
