What total CRAP!

I'm watching the Giro D'Italia on Versus Television right now and I'm annoyed. You know why? It's because the entire Giro isn't available on Versus in the United States unless you toss some money toward Verizon and Versus.

They blow.

I can't wait until I find a way to get Eurosport here on this continent.

Keep riding!

Caisse d'Epargne (ESP)
