Tour Down Under '16
Postby queequeg » Sun Jan 17, 2016 7:28 pm
I'm flying down on Wed to get some riding and spectating in, and will be up on Wilunga on Saturday.
I'm riding the BUPA stage 4 challenge with the Jens Voigt Team, so should be a bit of fun (I hope). I'm not usually that keen on big rides like this, but it was a gift.

I find http://www.steephill.tv/ is pretty good at finding live streams of cycling.

Commercial stations grab the rights so they can control the broadcast so as not to disrupt their normal programming/ratings - hence 'highlights' late at night. Was the same for RoadNats, except for Sunday.

Ditto. Chromecast all the way.

At least the police motorcyclist didn't push the rider off his bike.

Well done channel 9 in again f****** up your programming and having your stupid US sitcom overrun by 25 minutes, leaving my recorded highlights package to cut out at 50km to go. Well done, well done indeed. Would never happen on SBS.
It might be an idea to record the live broadcast.

How true.
How good was he after that awesome leadout by Impey!

One small thing I've observed from watching the live feed (which I think is done pretty well by Channel 9; Robbie Mc again shows how to translate his vast experience into informative, interesting on air commentary) is the number of badly parked cars on the course. Too close to the riders and I even noticed the peloton funnelled down to one lane as traffic had been stopped on their side as they came off the last climb. There was also the trailer jutting out on the road as a driver had driven onto the Stirling course!
