...with OLN's crappy cuts to commercial? They cut off Phil and Paul
mid-word. It wasn't this abrupt in previous years.

That's because you're watching last year's coverage. This year the
channel covering the tour is Versus.

Oh, yeah, that's right. I guess the change in name was also a license to
provide a crappy product.

The word is that Versus is walking a very narrow line with its investors.

Can't understand why-- bull riders, ultimate cage fighting, and a
great reality-TV drama that sometimes has guys riding bicycles and
getting into all sorts of hi-jinx. Seems like they should be turning
investors away.

You've got a point there. With the UCI nuke yourself in the foot brigade
in charge perhaps the tour should be promoted as a big brother/survivor
type show with the last rider standing declared the winner.
