The Giro on Universal Sports

Universal Sports has recently announced that it will be televising this year's Giro d'Italia. If you haven't watched the Giro before, it is--in my opinion--the most exciting Grand Tour of the three (with all due apologies to the Tour de France). This year should be even more exciting as it is the Centennial of the Giro and we will be witness to the return of Basso and Armstrong to the grand tours. Finally, let us not forget that American Levi Leipheimer is a favorite for this prestigious race. Universal Sports will air the three-week race -- which starts this Saturday -- with only live video (no commentary) at universalsports.com. (I am also looking for confirmation that UniversalHD wll air a taped, same-day show (with commentary) starting at 11 a.m. with re-airings from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. and 10 p.m. to 12 a.m..)
