  1. Watching more SBS than ABC , now . They are really the national broadcaster that reponds to us viewers. Love the interational news broadcasts .Although the commentators on the Tour should acknowledge France TV do all the coverage , they just do a commentary from here. But looking foward to more cycling ,thanks SBS .
