Jay Vine won the TDU with a fractured wrist from the crash with the kangaroo. He had surgery this morning. (report from Team UAE) #TDU #TourDownUnder #CouchPeloton

Channel 7 obviously think no one likes watching cycling.

They’re doing their best to not show any of it.

The #TDU coverage could be called “Claytons coverage”.
- the coverage you present when you don’t present cycling

Aww, poor kangaroo 🦘

Today is the first time I’ve been able to sit down and watch #TDU.

The coverage is SHIT!!!

What on earth is with showing the race in a mini window and random crap on the larger side??

Channel 7 are completely misreading the room.

Also, while I’m venting - let Phil retire. I’m so glad we don’t get him for grand tours anymore.

@spinopsys I do believe in climate change but heat at both the #TDU and #AO has always been an issue. We went to the AO 34 years ago and left because it was 40+. We went back to the hotel and watched from air con. Mum grew up near Adelaide and talked of regular 105F days in summer 90 years ago.

@MrAndrewD I'm glad we don't get him for the Giro or TDF. He was having lots of trouble keeping up with the newer riders in the #TDU

I was intending to ride my mountain bike today but my body, particularly my elbow, isn't happy about that. So I'm gonna watch the rest of the #tdu then swallow some painkillers and head out on my road bike.

The way Plapp is riding, he must think there is a teammate up the road 😉

@mativity I'm just thankful that it is on free to air tv and they seem to limit the ads towards the end of the race. #couchpeloton #tdu
