But why don't they show any of the winter track events? I'd love to see some 6-day racing coverage. It also seems like it would make for a good broadcast and even non-cyclists would get a kick out of watching dudes on bikes with no breaks bumping and slinging team-mates in and and out of the race.

Here in the good old RSA we do not get any cycling coverage (except if you have M-Net) and they only cover the TDF and a 1 hour show every week/bi-weekly? But I agree totally with you. We have events such as the Argus where 35 000 cyclists entered in 4 days. I would think that it must be a clear indication to the local SABC channels that there is a market. Now and again (more again ) we get some track racing and yes..it is extremely exciting. Even my wife who does not cycle likes to watch it. __________________ "pain is temporary, pride is forever"

I saw some links at www.fixedgearfever.com for some
6day coverages.
