  1. Switched on the box last night to watch what I
    thought would be the near the start of the second stage
    to find there was only about 80km to go.

    This is different to what we in Perth were
    expecting, isn't it?

    Generally, I think it's good although I'm worried
    we might miss out on some of the middle stage climbs
    later in the race.

    I was also a bit put out by the "magazine" beginning of
    the coverage - not while the race is on please!

    According to the schedule (in today's Australian), 10pm,
    and the coverage ends at 11:40 when Oz comes on. I hope
    they don't waste the first 30 minutes on the "magazine"
    stuff. Surely their audience is predominantly hard-core
    TdF fans who want to see riders suffering.

    It's a pain. I'd rather have it delayed and see the whole thing than
    the last 1/2 hour like we got on Sunday night. At least we don't have
    to put up with Gabriel's cooking [censored]...

    Nothing like watching dodgy food being cooked when I _know_ the race is on!
    grrr madness!

  11. I was under the impression that they were only ever gunna show the last 2 or 3 hours, and it looks like it's just the last 2 hours.

    If this is any help, the stages have been finishing around 1:15am over here, and I'm pretty sure it's live.

    Oz is just the warmup for watching riders suffering :/

    Zabriskie must be feeling a bit rotten right now !
