Did you know that the Tour de France was going on? The only reason I found this out was because I was boringly scanning through channels and ran into OLN, their official channel along with the occasional CBC showing which I don't get on DirecTV anyways. It seems like without Lance, America, and more importantly, ESPN, is certainly reluctant to put hype or even significant coverage on the sport. I haven't heard anything at all about the Tour de France starting, while the past few years have been all Lance all the time. There was that one reality show on the Discovery Channel where American cyclists tried to take over Lance's spot on the squad, but I bet that show gets less viewers than Wilmer Valderrama's "Yo Mamma" show on MTV (which I'm ashamed to say I've seen more than once). Being overshadowed by Wimbeldon and the World Cup doesn't help, but without a superstar to cash on, it looks like the Tour will be soon and long forgotten in America's minds for quite awhile now.
