Anyone know if there is any chance of the Vuelta being shown in Aus?

Yeah, it's Stage 10-ish now right? Where can I get (pref. free) video coverage of it?

Anyone following the race on cyclingnews, etc?

Yeah, it's just amazing how many unfamiliar names (particularly Spaniards) are doing well. Is this because the "big names" aren't there, or is the local knowledge that important there? Or just that I'm ignorant? 🙂

I don't get a chance to see it these days, but you might catch a result, and even a couple of shots on SBS World Sports. Or if you live in Melbourne, Cogs in Elwood might be showing stages live. It's a good way to spend Saturday night.

Try asking on rec.bicycles.racing - they will more likely know the answer, if you don't mind the
odd flame.
