Kinda cool.

How do you know it was kinda cool if you missed it? Maybe it was kinda
gory.

OLN plans to show a single 1 hour "recap" of the entire Vuelta. No live
coverage, no delayed coverage, no nothing.

Thank you Chicken Little.

But how about:
http://www.olntv.com:80/htmlpage.asp?htmlid=239

"Coverage of the Vuelta a España will follow OLN?s exclusive daily
LIVE coverage of The Tour de France in July. Beginning September 4th
and totaling a distance of approximately 2,023 kilometers, the Vuelta
a España takes riders through six plains and over 11 medium and high
mountains. The race includes one team time trial race, two individual
time trials and one hill climb time trial. The race will air LIVE on
weekdays with a tape delay broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays."

Lessee ... The OLN press release quoted above is dated March 2, 2004.

The item posted by the OLN Forum Moderator was dated Wednesday, July 28,
2004.

I believe the more recent information coming out of OLN; and I don't expect
them to put out a press release stating they'll NOT be covering the Vuelta,
because that wouldn't make a lot of sense at all to announce in such a wide
manner that they are REDUCING coverage of their top-rated sport.

Of course, it doesn't make a lot of sense to reduce coverage of their
top-rated sport, either, but there's no accounting for the lack of
intelligence of corporate officers.

subscribing to OLN for the cycling coverage and the occassional bull
goring.

OLN has bull fighting? Wow, great.

I missed the coverage of the "running of the bulls" they had last year during
the Giro.

It was during the Tour, not during the Giro, unless they've moved the Giro
to July.

From: http://www.sanfermin.com/guia/in_encierro1.shtml

THE RUNNING OF THE BULLS is the single most characteristic event of the
Fiesta of San Fermin. This is the event which has given the Fiesta
world-wide fame and which appears on news broadcasts around the world during
that special week in July. It is held at eight o'clock each morning from the
7th to the 14th of July inclusive.
