This is something I can't understand. There is a dedicated TdF channel in SA, with continous highlights throughout the night.
Why the Australian sports authorities can't realise the impact the Aussie cyclists have on the Tour, is beyond me. You guys should complain.

Yeah Blimp ..... you win ....... beautiful place, great roads, my sort of weather and some seriously cheap real estate. Pity if you need to work though. The roads around Sheffield and into the mountains there are really something, reminding me of English country lanes with the tall grass right up to the road edge. It would be a fabulous place to run a big stage race.
I work with a girl from Hobart ....... true story .... meets guy in a niteclub, get on well, few drinks, they grope each other, go home after swapping phone numbers, a second date, bit deeper 'tell me all about yourself' conversation and she senses a couple of common threads ......... IT WAS A COUSIN SHE'D NEVER MET BECAUSE OF A LONG STANDING FAMILY FIGHT !!!!! She left for the mainland soon after and is still terrified to go back.
