World Championship Fever

Even the Washington Post has it. Two good articles about the upcoming September World UCI Road Championships in Richmond in today’s Post.

A funny quote from the first article:

“Bike races are won with a mix of guile, deception, hubris and teamwork. Back-stabbing, sandbagging and collusion among enemies are part of the intrigue. The rider who works hardest rarely wins. Put your money, instead, on someone who does the least pedaling.”

We’ll be there. Will you!

Additional programming notes:

I think there was live streaming coverage on the Richmond 2015 website, but I didn’t discover it until just now:

Now, I can only find a few promotional videos for the championships, but no race videos.

They do confirm that the Sun. Men’s elite road race was broadcast on CNBC.

FUTURE BROADCAST SCHEDULE

Mon. Sept. 28, Wrap-up Show, Universal Sports

Sun. Oct. 4, One-hour broadcast summary on NBC. Obviously they won’t provide in-depth coverage of each event with only one hour for the entire race series.
