Sky TV tunes in to cycling

-- Tour of Britain coverage on the schedule

News just in - Sky TV has published its September schedule, showing rather chunky coverage of The Tour of Britain.

This is rather good news for New Zealand's 1.3 million cyclists, who aren't satisfied with a TV diet restricted to July's Tour de France and a 1-hour Paris-Roubaix highlights package.

I'd point you to the schedule, but Sky's website is so poxy I'm unable to find it. Their two monkeys on the lose at Sky's Mt Wellington call centre couldn't much help, either.

Thankfully there are other ways.

Fingers crossed tour coverage will bump off air at least a few episodes of rugby league's past golden moments. Arrghh!
