Cyclings really not big at all in Australia. If there was some coverage of some more races on SBS though I bet there would be alot more interest. They only just showed the Aussie Champs today on TV. |

There's no live coverage whatsoever for anyone, although the fact that the race is producing a 30 minute daily TV highlights programme would make me think that surely someone somewhere in Australia would've picked up the rights to show it. It would be very odd if the race got no coverage in Australia. |

I've had a word with a friend living in Adelaide some time ago, and today he remembered it. He thinks he might be able to get a few pictures from the last stage for us, since he doesnt really work anyway (well, how works with off-shore drilling, but is never really off-shore anyway).

Cycling.tv's coverage sucks so far. the feed started 14 minutes late on the free channel and then stopped. for the last 15 minutes it's just been "Buffering". On the Premium channel it never even started.

I can't vouch for the highlights this morning since I wasn't in the office. I was actually in bed with my girlfriend, which is preferable to watching the TDU (but only marginally). But I've not heard of any other complaints about this, so I'm not sure it's a universal issue?
Try phoning Cycling.tv if the problem occurs next time, they'll sort it out for you quickly! |

tell us more....*scribbles manically on notepad*
seriously, cycling.tv seemed fine at first but it's now pissing me off  ....especially the "please log off" part in videos that I'm entitled to watch.
But what's more frustrating is having technical support ignore my e-mails. And not just the viagra pills ads ones either...

This was an actual head-to-head sprint, so the results reflect who was fastest.
Yesterday Renshaw won because a Caisse rider screwed up coming out of the last turn and Renshaw got a big lead going into the sprint.
I wonder if Greipel has finally turned the corner?
