Giro on TLN?

[Db]

Hello, Does anyone know if Telelatino (in montreal) will be showing the Giro this year? In the past
they supposedly showed every stage and i was hoping they were doing the same this year too. I
checked the schedule on their website but no Giro :-( I'm hoping someone here would know for sure.
Since it seems that oln canada seems to be ignoring all cycling except the tour de france, TLN would
be the only chance. Thanks Darius

Gee, I hope so! I noticed they showed MSR, but a couple of weeks later.

Funny story about MSR. I had kind of been looking out for MSR on TLN on the days following the
actual race. Then a couple of saturdays later i was running out the door late for a hockey game and
for some reason i decided to check one last time... and sure enough there they were- the peleton
about to climb the Cipressa Talk about lucky (even had a tape in the vcr just in case)! I guess
you folks over in the US and Europe are laughing at the lengths us poor b*st*rds in Canada have to
take to get some cycling on tv. Anyway Marlene, i'll keep checking TLN (using my new-found phychic
ability) and post a message here if i find anything. Darius

Same thing, I accidentally turned on TLN, which I don't really watch, and caught the last 15 minutes
of MSR. Of course, had I known it was on I'd have taped it, but neither tv guide or the local paper
has listings for TLN, the idiots. It really is pathetic the lengths we have to go to.

Good news, though. I saw the for TLN, and on sunday PM at 4:30, there is about an hour or 90
minutes of "Giro D'italia", even though it starts on saturday. It may be a highlight show, better
than nothing!

Canadian viewers take note!

Can i start my anti-tsn/rds rant again? ;-) At least TLN showed the race (i assume they just used it
as filler- but not bad for 90 mins of filler). I don't think tsn or rds even mentioned the race (or
any cycling apart for the tour de france) although SRC always mentions cycling in their sports
highlite show.

Woohoo, thanks I just checked the illico giude and at 4:30pm there's a 1 hour show called
'Raconti di Vitta' but from 11am-1pm there is a 'special presentation' (no summary of what the
presentation is and why it's so special). Guess i'll check in at 11 and 4:30 tomorrow just to be
safe. Thanks again for the info. Darius

I haven't seen the new schedule yet, they don't post it until monday and no one has the listings
around here. Thanks! I'll have the VCR handy.

RIght, I remember last sunday was the same thing. Too bad about missing saturday's stage, I would
love to see garzelli's win.
