SBS Posted info on their FAcebook page about their TDF coverage and I asked 'does live mean LIVE into SA'. Their response was:

When we say LIVE across Australia, we mean LIVE across Australia. No delays, and early coverage online for those stages that start before the SBS ONE broadcast is scheduled, so you shouldn't miss a thing.

I encourage you to also click like on their response

Thanks for the link Angus.  I have watched every Stage of the Dauphne and there is no doubt that Wiggins is in superb for and has a VERY strong team behind him.  I was really impressed with Cadels win on Monday and think that we should not write him off, or his Team, just yet.  Cadel has had a fair bit of pressure along with illness this year and a new son (and we all know what that means) I hope he continues to be stronger and the Brits are more interested in winning in London than possibly Cadel is. That's why Cavendish won't win the Green jersey this year and will pull out of TdF, IMHO.  Into the mountains tonight so we shall see how that goes.  Even tho Wiggins is half Australian, he like Cavendish, has a sometimes arrogant attitude. He mocked the GreenEdge team the other night. A big No,No in my books but just the Brit?Oz rivalry I think.

Thanks for clearing that up for me guys.  The white paint would be slippery as hell to doesnt take much to go down on that (done it myself).

There is no real benefit to adding a heavy tread to road bike tires. As the width of a road tire is so narrow and the weight of the cyclist is reasonably minimal, it is unlikely that enough water pressure can be built up in front of the tire to cause aquaplaning. As Derek has pointed out there were a lot of crashes due to sliding out on corners, this is caused by reduced friction on the wet road surface, once again a tread pattern won't help here, the tread doesn't increase friction.

Michael, the short answer to your question is NO. Their tyres are the same apart from maybe a little extra pattern but not what we would call wet weather tyres.  Lots of sliding crashes at the Giro last night, as a result.

Hi guys this might sound like a silly question but do the pros have wet weather tyres with some grip. I have been watching some of the highlights of Giro and been thinking how scary it looks when they take the corners so fast in the wet.
