Default OLN Canada finally shows some cycling related stuff

According to http://www.tsn.ca/oln/feature.asp?fid=8984 OLN Canada is also
airing the same 13 part series, on Lance and the USPS preparing for the
Tour, that OLN USA is airing (see
http://www.olntv.com/htmlpage.asp?htmlid=233).

I'm shocked. What about the lumberjack shows and re-runs of Lonely Planet?!

Now if they could also pick up OLN USA's coverage of Paris-Roubaix, the
Giro, the Vuelta, etc. then it might finally be a half decent channel to
watch.

The Road to the Tour series bites so far. But it looks like Kirsten got a
rack job.

The coverage of Flanders was also disappointing. Only one hour and it was
proceeded by another hour of the Criterium International which had already
been shown a few times. There is no way one can get a feel for the race (a
classic) in 1 hour. They should have bagged the CI repeat and done 2 hours
of Flanders. Wasn't it last year or the year before they had 4 hours of the
PR. Not this year.

I know, I know we used to get nothing and Canada gets even less.

Flanders was just about perfect. P-R would probably benefit from 2 hours
instead of 1 but it gives you long enough to finish a couple of drafts in
the local Sports Bar.
