I like cycling and I live in Adelaide, but know very little about pro cycling. What should I learn before TDU?

Anyone watching via the SBS stream? I can't seem to get rid of the on screen controls while in full screen mode.

How do people in Australia watch the Giro d'Italia now that SBS don't have the rights?

Is Foxtel the only way to get Eurosport here? I will never sign up or pay money for that.

At first there was this clip:

And then it turns out it was one of the policeman doing the pushing:

So this fan thought pushing was a good idea and wanted to get in on the action:

I know I post this a lot but that descent doesn't look very safe. There's like 10 meters of visibility. Hope Nibali has a go.

I was about to post the same thing. Hope nobody goes over. Can't see poo poo.

Sounds like Australia's decision to go with a small team for no apparent reason is coming off.

I thought that was appealed by the riders and overturned?

Are there any live feeds like tour tracker for this? I find it really useful to keep track of who is in which groups etc.

I usually watch the SBS coverage, so the Eurosport team are new for me, but God drat they are insufferable.

I get to choose between the German Eurosport feed with ad breaks and the British feed without ad breaks. I watch every single goddamn Alpecin ad with no regrets.

SBS didn't have Alpecin ads last year and I felt like I wasn't getting the full cycling broadcast experience.
