The actual race is Saturday, May 6,2006 at 6:00pm but actual race coverage starts at 5:00-6:30pm eastern time and it will be televised on NBC. If you have the ESPN channels then you can pretty much see all day coverage.. stats about the horses..etc.

I am very excited about this Tour...finally the riders that do not use performance enhancing drugs will have a shot at the podium...it's not coincidence that the wealthiest and most successful riders have all turned up on the doctor's dirty list. Its the clean sweep that cycling fans need to believe once again in the fairness of this awesome sport.

Prominant or dominant?\nProminant: Jan Ulrich, Tom Boonen, and Alessandro Petacchi.  In europe these guys are rock stars.\nDominant (this year): Tom Boonen Ivan Basso, and Alejandro Valverde.  You could also mention good-ole-Pennsylvania-boy Floyd Landis.  These guys have won a ton of races this year.\nPromoting cycling as a sport?  I assume you mean in the USA, because in Europe it's a big sport.  Culturally cycling is not an American sport.  Cylcing glorifies perseverance over victories; survival and indefatigable, tinacity is remembered  sometimes regardless of the outcomes of the races.  American culture generally accepts wins as the only measure of greatness.\nWithout a general shift in what Americans are looking for in their champions there will never be a wide spread understanding of cycling.\nAlso, cycling is difficult to watch on tv.  It is hard to film.  The route and the weather are oponents a rider must race against (hills can be more famous than riders).  It can take 6-hours for a race to develop.  Spectators will wait at the side of the road for hours to see ten seconds of a race.  After the race passes there is no way to actually see how the race further develops.\nIt's a great sport but it will never be as popular as the spectator friendly American sports.

ESPN and ESPN2 will cover the world cup, with the US games being trasmited at ABC if I remember right.\nUnfortunately, I dont think anyone transmits middle east leagues at this time.
