    SBS Australia Coverage of the 2009 TDF vote here Good or Bad?

    Overall SBS give us fantastic coverage. I've been watching the tour since the late 80's & we really have to be thankful for how much coverage we have. But... - Mike Tomalaris reminds me of Daryl Summers the way he waffles on. - Gabriele G, thank god this is only 5min this year not 30 like...

    Official Thread: TdF Stage 8, Andorre-La-Vieille to Saint-Girons

    Agree 100% I don't see how I can stand having to click back and forth between individual news items. The daily news and the race results are the core of the site, they have made it anoyingly fiddly to get to these areas and to get what I want to see. Keep it quick and simple, and not so busy
