Default Did You Know That Oln Won't Broadcast The Vuelta?

Am I the only person upset or what? I just find out that OLNTV will not televise the Vuelta a España this year.

What do you think?

You're not the only one that's disappointed. Somewhere on here there's a thread that includes a link that takes you to a petition, which you can sign asking for OLN to broadcast the Vuelta. Go sign it!

Do they even have the rights for it? That could be a reason. (Giving benefit of the doubt)

Thank you very much Meehs! I hope to find that thread and sign it soon. I don't think is fair for us cycling fans not to have another major International cycling event broadcasted on TV. I am sure, OLN's ratings will show a lot more viewers than their "others" shows. Plus, haven't they said that this year's TDF doubled up their viewers? so sad.......
