Why do we only get Giro stages once a week?
Has coverage of the Giro always been this crappy? I set my dvr to record all giro broadcasts and when I sat down to watch today I've got one stage (Sunday's coverage). My schedule says tomorrow is the next (and last) day of VS coverage. What gives? This is the first year I've tried to watch (because I now have dvr) so maybe it's been this bad all along?

I've never watched the Giro before, but from what I recall from past years, it is only available in its entirty(sp?) online on a pay per view basis.
So, yes, its always been this bad, or worse. The Vuelta is the same situation. |

go to eurosport for some better coverage. Does anybody think Rubiera Vigil can take it?

Giro coverage has never been very good. I think one year (about Lance's third or fourth year winning the tour) they gave us almost daily, but for the most part it is once a week or so.
