I wanted to watch cycling so bad, but no such luck... (SPOILERS)

Vino is a big surprise! But I'm happy he got the win. At his age he won't be winning many big races, as he proved in the Tour de France. The injury he suffered last year seemed to be a carreer ender, but he's always been a fighter.

No spoilers: but there is NO REASON for NBC to not show the events live on the weekend! People are off work! What's the point? goodvibe61 Jul 28, 13:40

I totally agree - I kept waiting for NBC to have a pay deal for online coverage like CBS did with the NCAA basketball tourney in March JDolphin Jul 28, 14:20

They don't want their prime time to be filled with non-prime time events. It shows how backwards in thinking the network executives are. elchan Jul 28, 14:49

But all you need is a DVR or equivalent....I recorded NBC and started watching about 3 hours late. I could fast forward Buy BONDS 19 Jul 28, 22:39

It wasn't televised in my country, even if it was previously announced... {nm} slappydavid Jul 29, 05:47

I posted elsewhere, but here we go again. If they only show events LIVE, there would be nothing but interviews in Prime Time. London is Buy BONDS 19 Jul 28, 22:48

I don't think UK audience would watch non-live sport (apart from highlights) {nm} Rednax Jul 29, 04:49

Also BBC isn't ad-funded so has no need to maximize audience by delaying to prime time {nm} Rednax Jul 29, 04:50

They're not gonna spoil it? What a joke. It's the real world, not the NBC world. Events happened 9 hours earlier on the west coast. goodvibe61 Jul 30, 08:12

Also: How exactly is it spoiling anything for Prime Time if they showed the event live at 11:00 AM? goodvibe61 Jul 30, 08:15

Not Going To Happen. They paid 1.8 Billion for rights years ago. They need prime time ad money. wroberson Jul 30, 22:12
