. Turns out they are mad keen cyclists and are planning to spend a couple of weeks here for the 2014 TDU. The race coverage in the US is apparently pretty good although mostly late-evening delayed telecast.No, we should steal our F1 race back from those inbreds across the border, and bring back the Le Mans night race.spiller wrote:Id take a straight swap TDU for the F1 Aus GPclaybro wrote:Hope the Melbourne papers dont notice the release either.

Actually, we don't have to wait... Just announced:Maximus wrote:Great little story, Wayno. I love those sort of anecdotes.
We should hear details of the route for 2014 soon. Previous form has been to release the route just before the start of the Tour de France, but not this year it seems. I imagine we'll hear something shortly after Le Tour has been completed.
Deal done for 2014 Tour Down Under international TV distribution rights
10 July 2013
Tourism Minister Leon Bignell has announced a new agreement with Tour de France organisers, Amaury Sports Organisation, for the 2014 Santos Tour Down Under international TV distribution rights.
Mr Bignell yesterday met with Amaury Sports Organisation officials at stage 10 of the Tour de France at Saint-Gildas-des-Bois, securing a new three year deal for the rights.
“This is the same organisation that distributes the TV coverage of the Tour de France and continuing the relationship will have obvious benefits for South Australia and the race,” Mr Bignell said.
“We also discussed ways of expanding the coverage to more networks and to key tourism markets over more hours.
“International broadcasts of the Santos Tour Down Under showcase South Australia's pristine beaches, wine regions and towns to television and radio audiences around the world.
“The last two years have seen the Adelaide race increase its TV presence in the key tourism markets of the UK, Europe and the US, exposing South Australia and the event to an even greater global audience.”
Mr Bignell said the success so far of the two year partnership between the Santos Tour Down Under and Amaury Sports Organisation is evident in the results.
“With 306 hours of international television coverage screened this year, a 60 hour increase on the 246 hours achieved in 2012, it makes sense to grow and extend this partnership,” he said.
The 2013 Santos Tour Down Under was broadcast on the following international TV networks:
• Africa and Middle East - pan regional, Supersport, Asia - pan regional, EUROSPORT Asia, Canada, Sportsnet and RDS, France, Sport+, Japan, JSPORTS, Italy, RAI Sport 2, Malaysia, Astro Supersport, New Zealand, Sky TV, Norway, TV2 Sport, South America – pan regional, TDN and DirecTV, UK, BSkyB, USA and NBC Sport.
It received dedicated international news coverage in:
• Belgium, VTM and RTBF, France, L’Equipe 21 and France TV, Luxembourg, RTL, Netherlands, NOS, Norway, TV2 Sport, Pan Europe, Eurosportnews, Spain, Teledeporte, World Wide News, EVS , SNTV, Perform (Omnisport) and Reuters.

More:Cadel Evans (BMC Racing) has announced that he will kick off his 2014 season at the Santos Tour Down Under, in his first appearance at his home race since 2010. The former World champion, and 2011 Tour de France winner, will be structuring his season around a bid for victory at the Giro d’Italia in May, and so he will be working towards peak form far earlier in the year.
"With my focus on the Giro d'Italia, everything comes earlier in the year," Evans said. "There is also the team's desire to get the season off to a good start. I think with a bit harder course this year, it would be realistic to go for the overall."
