With Paris-Nice just around the corner, has anyone heard about TV coverage of Pro cycling events this spring/summer? I tried searching the OLN and Discovery websites last night but didn't have any luck. Any commitments from any networks that y'all know of? Or will this come later, if at all?

Good news on OLN Coverage was announced informally in a OLN Forum message (http://www.olntv.com/olnbb/viewtopic.php?t=2075&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=30) :

"OK cycling fans, I finally have some news to share with you.

Regular cycling coverage will resume in Mar. Right now, it looks like it will begin Mar. 6 or 13.

There will be regular, same-day coverage on Sundays at 3pm ET. Shows could run up to 2 hours, depending on the race.

Phil, Paul and Bob will be calling the races. We will be covering ALL of the spring classics.

When we have a definite start date (Mar. 6 or 13) and a detailed schedule, it will be posted on our website.

For now, I thought I’d share this good news with you."
