Last year they showed 8 Stages Live and Daily Highlights. Not sure whether they are upping it this year or not. But it's not hard at all to get a stream online and Eurosport covers it so it may be showed on Foxtel?

Bahaha Anthony Tan, I feel sorry for that bloke. So I am the first guy that is proud to say I support Anthony Tan! Regardless of his cringe-worthy interviews and guesses! I support him.
Oh and Cadel.
Oh and Cadel.

Or Catel Evans as Tomo referred to him in his last blurb before signing off.
Must have been hitting the champagne too early.

I know this sounds weird but does anyone know the name of the food place Gabriel Gate visited in Paris last night? I taped most of the stage last night but missed the start.
I'm going to France next year and I want to visit this place. The food looked amazing.
Oh....and congratulations Cadel.

I also should have wrote that I would be very disappointed with myself if I fell asleep and missed it. Which I did. Fell asleep about 10 minutes before they hit the Champs and woke up with 4kms to go.

This is what you call a "media whore".
http://video.au.msn.com/watch/video/whats-making-news/x7zoy22?mediaid=7930282
Some nobody called Mia Freedman saying that Cadel is only a "Man who is paid a lot to ride a bike" and she isn't excited by his win.
What a joke.

Don't fret everyone...I've managed to find out it is the great Parisian Fauchon food store. Go back to what you were doing.

whilst nobody is forcing everyone to get excited about it, this is about as a case of attention whoring as you'll see

I must say, I'm also baffled by how folks can say they shed a tear or boast how extremely proud they are of the achievement of a person they barely know from a bar of soap. But Freedman's rant just showed her ignorance. Sport isnt obviously her thing. She subjectively prioritises achievements as to how they relate to her. And juding by many of her articles, the achievements she considers greatest revolve around being a mother. That's tough work in my book. But so is winning a Grand Tour bike race. Just because it's not on her radar shouldnt be a reason to simply right it off.
Now to Evans himself. dont get me wrong here guys. I'll admit, I have not been the most enthusiatic fan of Evans over the years, and I'm not alone as an Australian follower of cycling.............they're a couple of regular posters on this forum even who share my view. His behaviour over the years was arguably team related as we can all say that his highly strung manner improved greatly upon his move to BMC.....and he started achieving great results again - World Champion, Fleche Wallone, and winning important stage races......and his stage win on Toscana's Strade Bianche which was anything but on those muddy roads last year ahead of Vino and Cunego, was abo****ely phenomenal.
But this was the real pressure cooker. I, like some others watching on this tour, expected him to crack. But FMD, did he prove me and others wrong. He showed from Stage 1 coming second to Gilbert on Mont des Allouettes, and then his great win in Stage 4 on the fabled Mur de Bretagne that he was strong...........but I still doubted.........or perhaps I let my prejudice dictate what I wanted to happen.
The bloke was an absolute machine on Stage 18 and Stage 19. In the former, posters were righting off his challengers as dogs. But they literally did not have the legs to chase Andy Schleck and their eventual GC standings proved this. He did. In the latter, I once again doubted his effort and honestly thought that his 'mechanical' was where he finally proved me right and he had mentally cracked. But no, he was proving me wrong again. he didnt panic, he settled back into the peloton, worked with others to get back to par before Alpe d'Huez and rode a tactically astute final climb. He proved how much of a machine he was this July by obliterating all but the strongest time trialler this year in the ITT.
I dont buy into all the media hoopla, or the extreme patriotism just because some bloke shares the same passport. I judge it as I see it. And what I saw was a truly phenomenal performance, and one of the most deserved Tour de France Champions I have seen. He just happens to be an Aussie.
Congratulations and well done to Cadel Evans.
Now, hopefully you lot who have suddenly found a love for cycling hang in there and get into some other events. there's a decent one day race this weekend at san sebastian. and the vuelta is only a month away. Arguably one of the most brutal climbs is on the itinerary this year - Angliru in the Asturias. above 20% in a certain section. makes lo zoncolan and anything they do in the TDF like a descent. filthy im going to miss it as i'll be OS.
Angliru in 2008. fantastic atmosphere. check out how steep it is. pro cyclists can barely move.

Now if an American had won and a singer were wearing a dress adorned with the stars n stripes that wouldn't be tacky would it?

If you'd given us folks a bit of time, we mightve helped out. Afterall, alot of us are still in bed, or walking around like zombies after 3 weeks on about 5 hrs sleep per night.
and yes, Fauchon at the Madeleine metro stop. If heading from Champs Elysees from Place de la concorde, go down Rue royale and it's behind The church of Madeleine.

Congratulations Cadel you have made this a few weeks for many.
Thanks to SBS for providing great commentators, and thanks to Tomalaris and Co. for the great reviews of the race.

I wasn't having a crack....it was sarcasm and it was directed more at myself as I realised that my question was at the lower end of relevance to this thread. Thanks anyway.

You can't imagine why people wouldn't shed a tear when someone achieves something so significant, when it so clearly means so much to them? You can't be proud when you see someone from your own country fight back from adversity?
Strange.
beez
A*mazing
Morning radio has been fantastic. I love the media saturation when a massive sporting achievement occurs.

How bizarre.
Isn't this the same bird who was editor of Cosmo and Dolly magazine for quite a long time?
I'm sure while she was editor there were no celebrities on the front cover and it was purely focused on normal people saving people's lives or the plights of the poverty stricken in Africa.
**** off you attention seeking whore. Greatest achievement by an Australian and it has to be hi-jacked by a Mammia ME ME ME bitch.

Anyone would no that he's more then a "Man who is paid alot to ride" whats with here?
**** off you attention seeking whore
Sorry Mia.
The ignorance was the worst thing about it.
At the end, her whole argument petered out and she was left with "he doesn't even live in Australia. He lives in Switzerland". Karl was very nice when he politely suggested she read his biography.
The guy was born with a broken nose, spent two weeks in a coma, told he would never walk again, after being kicked in the head by a horse and has broken almost every bone in his body in one of the toughest, most dangerous, most gruelling sports known to man. It was only recently in the Giro d'Italia that a rider died ffs.
But her argument was based on he doesn't save lives and he lives in Switzerland. I'll happily honour a doctor for saving lives when over half a million people watch him operate at 2am in the morning.
