The Inevitable "is the Tour Down Under on Tv?" Thread

[User269]

.......well someones got to do it.
So, I've scoured the interweb, eurosports top secret TV schedule website etc. etc.

Please complete the following sentence;

Your are a complete moron and halfwit, almost as dim as HRH Prince Charles. Everybody knows that the Tour Down Under can be viewed on ............................ at........................ .

SkySports has listed it as something they are showing, but no details on time or channels yet.

Should we start a general "Cycling on the Television" thread and sticky it? That would seem to me to be a sensible way of keeping everyone informed of what is on and when.

The Tour Down Under is being broadcast on Sky Sports 2 and Sky Sports 3

Coverage is limited to a daily 30 minute highlights show, as shown nightly in Australia.

Coverage details for first show:

SPORT: Tour Down Under Cycling
On: Sky Sports 2 (402)
Date: Sunday 18th January 2009 (starting in 4 days)
Time: 19:30 to 20:00 (30 minutes long)

The world's best cycling teams head to Adelaide for the six-stage Tour Down Under. The top-class event showcases the speed, skill and spectacle of professional cycling.
(Dolby Stereo)

As with most sport on Sky, there are at least 2 repeats a day, Coverage is scheduled right up until 26 January, so there should be no problem catching the last stage!

20th - 24th January I understand

Actually 18th - 25th January - see http://www.tourdownunder.com.au/2009/

The race on Sunday 18th is the 'Cancer Council Classic' - Stage 1 of the actual TDU is on Tuesday 20th. Last stage (stage 6) is Sunday 25th.

Thanks dmoan! Needless to say, I haven't got Sky sports.

Cycling TV say they'll be showing the last hour of each race live and then a highlights programme too.
