Doesn't Versus's broadcasting contract with the TDF expire in 2008? I
bet that ASO would be excited to promote an USA based team to help secure
future viewers and revenue.

I'd rather see Eurosport America

You prefer David Duffield to Phil Liggett? Plus Eurosport has no equivalent
to Paul Sherwin (hope I'm not butchering the spellings) who's actually the
sharpest of any of them, in my opinion. Hearing him in person, you'd think
he's too smart to have been a bike racer.

British Eurosport's A-team is now the excellent David Harmon with Sean
Kelly. DH is doing a great job in getting much more out of Kelly, who
seems more relaxed than when he was with Duffers.

I don't think DH is a patch on DD.

Depends where he puts the patch.
