Is it just me or has there been bugger all media coverage of this?
Obviously SBS has been showing the highlights package, but as a keen reader of newspapers and watcher of TV news, I don't recall seeing much about it at all. Is this due to a) apathy of media owners, b) a very small target audience that makes the cost not worth the revenue, or c) they just don't get it? I would have thought that a 'World' event in our backyard (well, SA's backyard) would have at least pricked the interest of a few 'out of the cycling world' outlets. Brendo |

So do we try and learn the unenlightened, or just make a promise to buy $hitloads of beer to be on par with the other sports? Brendo |

Brendo Channel 10 showed Sunday's stage in it's entirety, only to break away for the news before the presentations could be shown. Christo. |

Bugger. There are also a couple of 4 minute snippets on SBS' website http://www20.sbs.com.au/podcasting/i...did=85&catid=2 Bob C Adrain |

At least the SBS highlights were quite good. Since 2005 when 10 got the rights the highlights have consisted of 25min of ads and 5min of racing. I did not see the last stage on TV, did they screw it up again this year by putting ads on for the last two laps prior to the sprint finish? -- jcjordan |
