I figured he had won the Tour of Romandie when I was watching the
German news on SBS this morning.

I hear the newsreader saying the words "Romandie" and "Cadel Evans".

Immediately after that, the news switches focus to Ullrich ...

So Cadel gets a one sentence mention on the news.

One more sentence than he will get on Australian Tv now the footie season is
on , SBS excepted that is .
Talking of SBS , is it only me that finds it strange that SBS 'World' Sport
covers 'Aussie Rules' in its nightly report? I would have thought that it
would have been pretty well covered on all the other channels.

was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea:

One wonders why Tomalaris specifically mentioned on the last
cyclingcentral that the TdF would not be interrupted this year. Was
it because of the complaints to the SBS that they are meant to be a
multicultural station, TdF is both cultural, and the most watched
sport in the world, and cricket... isn't?

Hmm, I have a concern about the World Cup and TdF crossing paths. World
Cup is 9th June to 9th July, and TdF starts 1st July. Given SBS are
doing both how will that work?

TdF won't be interrupted. They just won't show it at all.

Translated to...

"Jan was unable to reach into jersey pocket and find pie for sustanence
because of his gut -----^
so ate the cloest thing he could find, Cadel..."

Jan bashing is so easy. Much easier than trying to keep up with the
big guy, even on hills

Not me. Just because the others are blinkered doesn't mean SBS has to be
too, even if in a different direction.

would have been pretty well covered on all the other channels.

Why should they send viewers to other channels?

I doubt it was anything quite so pompous. More just pointing out that
there would be no clash this year.

Presumably many/most of the WorldCup games will be palyed at nigh (ie
primetime TV) in Germany, thus NOT clashing (too much, if at all with
TdF.
No idea if my theory is correct or not tho...
