    Paris - Nice

    Any other cycling fans out there watching this week? Four high mountain stages, one medium mountain stage, out of 8 total stages. Should be good.

    One thing seems to be obvious - Andy still has a long way to go in TT's.

    There aren't too many things that escape the OT forum.

    Always good stuff. Does anyone know what will happen to the races that used to be shown on Universal Sports - specifically the Giro? The channel is gone from my Comcast line-up. I hope this doesn't mean no Giro coverage here in the US, it's the best Grand Tour of the three, imo.

    I get the impression Universal Sports is still around. Their website has a petition form to send to Comcast. Not sure how much good it will, but I sent it in.
    I will sure miss not seeing the other grand tours if Comcast doesn't bring US back.

    Watched some of the Stage 1 ITT yesterday. Levi put in a heck of a ride. Bad luck to the later riders who had the moisture to deal with...

    I hadn't looked the rest of the stages, sounds like it should be entertaining and a good clue who has good early season form.

    Good race so far, Tejay is hanging tough in third. Between he and Phinney, I like the future of American pro cycling. The US has a guy who can likely challenge in the Grand Tours and another who can challenge in the cobbled classics. I'd love to see and American win Roubaix.

    Disaster for Levi yesterday. Three crashes. The one into his teammate and the motorcycle was painful to watch.
