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.

It's competing against world soccer, world rugby, world cricket and world tennis. The one that sells the most alcohol wins.

Every night during the tour, there was a wrap up of highlights of the days racing on SBS, and the last day was televised by Channel 10 in Sydney - the whole race in fact.

Granted, there is a bit of sport on in Australia now. 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

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

....and on the Monday following a long weekend away at Bright I discovered that the "daily" setting of the video recorder really only meant "monday to friday". Bugger.

-- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com[/QUOTE] and in Europe on Eurosport for the third year in a row it was shown live. 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?
