Milan San Remo. Goodbye WC

Being reported in Cycling Weekly in England that the TV transmission contract problems of Milan San
Remo are prompting the UCI to kick it of the world cup schedule and replace with Luis Puig in Spain.
Milan San Remo has not been on Eurosport for a few years and was the first live classic i saw when I
got my dish back in 1990. The sight of Bugno dropping Canzonieri on the Cipressa was breath taking
and really got me hooked on the classics, so I hope it gets back on the air soon, Patrick Reading CC

It's really a shame that broadcasting rights have become such a big issue in World Cycling. I wonder
if this anything to do with Rupert Murdoch...
