Tour Down Under *SPOILERS*

[rich p]

Anyone know if it's available on TV? It's not the most exciting racing but it's a start!
It's noticeable that the normal big-hitting sprinters like Greipel, Cavendish and Kittel are giving this one a miss. ISTR that the organisers were bemoaning that the T Dr San Luis was becoming more attractive.
I'm not sure Richie Porte will be full on this early if he has serious intentions for the tdf.

Yes but I don't really want to watch it live. Highlights is more than enough. I just like getting a vicarious suntan

I much prefer the San Luis tour. Plus we'll get to see Sagan in the rainbow stripes for the first time.

He raced in them the week after he won them iirc, i think he's even won a race in them already. He does look good in them though.

Right you are. Well, we'll see him in the stripes for the first time in the 2016 season at least!

Good win for Caleb Ewan in the People's Choice Classic*

* about as much of a Classic as Ride London Classic i.e. not at all

The final few kms, **warning - this footage contains commentary that may drive you up the wall, provided by Uncle Phil.**

It also contains commentary by an Aussie who seems to know what he's on about and I'm thinking it might be Robbie McEwen

athleticsontv.org.uk gives the times and channels for the highlights. They are a bit all over the place and short. Alternatively, the link in my signature will take you to the calendar.

I have very recently found this webpage which seems to give excellent coverage of races and might be a good resource for team rosters during the season - and it also has a decent-looking fantasy manager game.

Caleb Ewan keeps up his good form with stage 1.
Renshaw and Wippert in the minor places.
