oh FFS... Gabriel, taste le llama fist..

would the TDF coverage be interruppted by football coverage or football coverage interuppted by TDF coverage, over that overlapping [weeks] time?

Looks like a case of many smashed TVs during the wee hours.... :p

Most of the stages look to be over before 2am (cycling during the day?), and I guess most of the games that are left to play will be afternoon/night games - and thus coverage will be later?

Given that France & Germany are on the same time zone, and that the remaining games are at 8 or 9PM local time it seems unlikely.

Times for stage 8 (WC final day) are here. About a 2 hour gap between the latest expected end of the stage and the start of the SBS coverage of the final.

I always found the Gabriel Gate segments slightly amusing... except
when it was a particularly juicy mountain stage, with the riders
already into the good stuff, and Gabriel was poncing around dressed up
as his cousin the naughty French policeman... :rollseyes:

So hopefully, if the telecast is as described, then I won't mind
enjoying Gabriel in the knowledge that the stage is yet to start...

Cheers,
Abby

Can just envisage whats gonna happen at our place, I'll start getting rowdy after a few bevvies, Bikesoiler will tell me to STFA & stop arguing with the telly. Then I'll probably settle down, sook for a little while & then watch the stage. Repeat for three weeks.. :o

8pm WA FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Time to see the Gabriel Gate regurgitation that all the t'othersiders
winge about, we didnt get it here in the west, our live coverage
started at 10pm and was on delay.

We usually went to a Fremantle Bikeshop and watched with a bunch of
other obsessives on a sat feed from Sarth Efrika, "Lawnce is reeeelly
roiding hawd now."

The concerns are for sbs world news at 21.30 and the coverage of der
fussball von Deutschland. There are seven matches from Sat July 1, but
the kick offs appear to be much later than the finish of each stage, so
I get my cycling fix and my football fix also, sleep deprivation is
cheaper than drugs, and a really good interrogation technique.

World Cup final 10 July 2006 Monday morning 02.00 wst

Not very well. G-codes do not record a show, they record a timeslot on a
station. So if you plug in the G-code for any show on any commercial station
in the evening, when they always run 5 mins late, you will miss the last
five minutes of your show.

Missing the last five minutes of every TdF stage would be ..... well ....
annoying!

First, you avoid commercial stations. Second, some recorders have a
setting where you tell them to record an extra x minutes each time.
Makes G-code quite usable.

I can picture you doing this exactly 🙂

Any opening stage gatherings at people's houses? Last year at this
time, I was at a conference in Sydney. The only night I went to bed
before the stage was over was the night before I had to give my talk.

This will scare you...

In the absence of my better half (who is off to France), I have sought
out company for the TdF sessions... in the form of Lotte. We will eat
food, drink wine, ride bikes (on the trainers of course) and generally
be very scary.

Rumour has it that Paulie-AU is doing everything in his power to get out
of the house during this period...
