All I can really say is, finally! Should mean some primetime repeats to since TSN2 has no weekday summer programming for the most part.

Some good news for cycling fans, TSN has acquired the rights for the Tour de France, so it will be cycling in HD finally

If anyone knows if TSN will be picking up the Versus feed with Paul and Phil, please update this thread. Le Tour would not be the same without their commentary (even if it is in HD).

It hasn't been confirmed, but I'd be about 95% sure. TSN almost always uses US feed, if available, and they use Versus for IndyCar and NHL.

I think most people who follow TdF in the past are very familiar with Phil/Paul, since most of us have seen it through OLN/Versus, so it would make sense for them to stick with their commentary.

I'm just wondering if they'll do live broadcasts of the full-length races during the day, or if they'll only be showing the condensed prime-time version.

They will certainly have it live, probably on TSN2 some (or many/all) days because of things like The Open Championship.

All I see is delight at the HD coverage and the hope that Liggett and Sherwin will return . Surely TSN you can put us out of our misery ! I must confess , however , that we were on holiday in Bali , of all places , and the Eurosport coverage of the Giro was most acceptable but gimme Phil and Paul !
