Versus has priority rights to MWC games. Versus tried to raise their rates on DirecTV and DirecTV said no, we'll just turn off your channel as of 9/1 which occurred. So the MWC premier games will be blanked out on millions of televisions across the country. This also impacts the NHL.

Versus has done a great job with cycling, including Tours of California and Missouri. Watch next year with four major USA based pro teams:

- Columbia/HTC (w/ Mark Cavenish)
- Garmin/Slipstream (w/ Christian Vande Velde)
- Team RadioShack (w/ Lance)
- BMC Racing (w/ Geo. Hincapie

As for MWC, hubris win again. LOL!
