As a premium partner of the The Bike & Lifestyle Show, SBS have teamed up to deliver a first-of-its-kind Tour de France Live Site on Friday night - July 22 - including bar facilities, for the historic Alpe d'Huez climb which will see the winner of the general classification determined.
This presents the perfect opportunity to grab your cycling friends or family together after work to take in all that the Bike & Lifestyle Show offers before enjoying a beverage at the SBS Tour de France Live Site into the early hours as the race unfolds on the big screen.
Renowned for its large and frenetic crowds, Alpe d'Huez has been a stage finish at Le Tour almost every year since 1976, although absent from the route in both 2009 and 2010, the first time since then that it has missed two consecutive years. It returns this year in preparation for the race's 100th anniversary in 2013.

Thinking the free Foxtel on Xbox 360 offer for a month could be perfect for watching the Tour on Eurosport. Just have to hold out signing up so the 1 month doesn't expire before the tour finishes.

Unfortunately I can't stay up all night watching le tour and SBS coverage doesn't generally start until 10pm or later. I'd rather watch some cycling at 7-8pm than the other rubbish that is on FTA TV.jules21 wrote:do you seriously want to watch the first hours of each stage, before the peloton winds up?
I know there are morning and evening highlight shows on SBS but they tend to be a little bit brief.
Eurosport's program guide doesn't extend far enough forward to see what their coverage will be like yet unfortunately.

Gerald Ciolek (GER)
Kevin De Weert (BEL)
Dries Devenyns (BEL)
Addy Engels (NED)
Jerome Pineau (FRA)
Gert Steegmans (BEL)
Niki Terpstra (NED)
More interesting however... and with the recent discussion on photographers covering the tour (Gerard Vroomens blog post) I noted on the letour website that there are 240 accredited photographers covering the race. Obviously not all on motorbikes. They are beaten by 260 camera 'men'.
Back to the riders - when I get more time I want to take a closer look at which Aussie cyclists are likely to take part this year.

I bought mine from the local newsagent on Monday. I would have thought a pre-order would have been delivered before general release.

Stand by for the Australia Post excuse. This is the one used in the past when this has happened. They where supposed to have fixed this last year IIRC.roller wrote:indeed, which is why i'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat, i figure if it's just me then i'll chase them up, if others are in the same situation i'll do . . um. . nothing.hannos wrote:I bought mine from the local newsagent on Monday.
