IMO, the SBS coverage of the World Track Championship last weekend was absolutely ****. They hardly showed any racing, and then it finished half an hour early than advertised (meaning it was only on for half an hour). :'( <br /><br />Let's hope they make amends with this weekend's road coverage :-\

It was meant to go for an hour but they cut it short because of the "National Day of Mourning" tribute to victims of Bali terrorists attack.

I sent an email to SBS some months ago, begging them to put a weekly cycling programme together. I suggested an hour a week should be easy to fill.<br /><br />If we all send more, maybe the chances will improve.<br /><br />

The Road championships looked good though i missed the men and women TT . Had a club ride so i got back late. The crocodile trophy looked good too. I wish they would have more on the Herald Sun Tour though as it sounds good but they only have small highlights on world sports. Did you check out the sun tour steve?. I went and check out the noosa crit last week and it was great. Matt White and Alan Davis won in a break away. i got some great pics too.
