I personally am a huge cycling fan as well as competitive cyclist, and try to catch every big event thats on tv... if i can find them. I have noticed that most of the biggest races in the cycling world are barely broadcasted, and when they are, they are almost never publicized. Almost all of the big races for road and track cycling are missed, aside from the tour de france, and i am kind of upset. even during the last olympic games, the only cycling events widely shown were just abridged versions of the mens and women's road race, which were similiar to a stage in the tour. what was missed were possibly the most exciting races cycling has to offer: track. not only that, but the World Track Championships weren't even broadcasted, although nearly all the other countries represented did. all i ask for is a little coverage, not every race, but a few more would be nice.

I think Versus has a good amount of cycling coverage. You should also try going online to official websites where updates and race summaries are posted. Lacrosse is on TV a lot more today than it was five years ago. Back then I faced similar problems. Though I went online and was able to find plenty of good videos.
