Cycling
In the gym today, Sky Sports News were trumpeting something about an exclusive deal with British Cycling and Sky TV to broadcast all kinds of cycling events. Is this right? Do they get the Tour De France too? Can't imagine how Sky would razzmatazz Cycling like they have done with Super League and The Darts.

Do they get the Tour De France too? It's rather unclear what it entails in terms of events - http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/web/site/BC/bcf/News2008/20080724_Sky_Deal.asp However, it won't be to do with continental cycling such as Le Tour as they won't British Cycling's rights to sell. I imagine ASO as organisers sell TdF rights.
