I don’t see what’s so unbelievable about Jay Vine being hit by a kangaroo #TDU I mean, haven’t we all been hit by a moving kangaroo at some point? #CouchPeloton #giro2026

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

I just sent a complaint to the #TDU organizers about 7Plus' poor coverage.

Two crashes in less than 50km brought to you by 'THINK! Road Safety'

@Dorian_H
It's interesting that I heard Matt Keenan on a podcast say that their commentary ( Matt, Robbie and Phil) is continuous as they are creating the #TDU world feed. 7Plus obviously elects to take less than 50% of that with all It's interviews, promos, and long ad breaks 😳

#couchpeloton

7Plus - How about a actual update on what is happening now in the #TDU with the rider down on the tarmac in your screen rather talking about yesterday, tomorrow, next week and what sponsor is next in line to hog the screen?

@Dorian_H that kind of destroys the stage, doesn’t it? Not that I’m suggesting they cycle in 43C heat.

Echunga's main claim to fame is it's excellent Irish cafe The Plough.

It's about the only cafe in the Hills I occasionally go to.

#TDU

They keep talking up the beautiful hills and villages (!) of the Adelaide Hill, but it's mostly dusty little country towns and kilometres of brown paddock baking under sun in January.

I watch a lot of cycling races over the year. The coverage of the #TDU on 7Plus would hands down have to be the worst. It really is a glorified advertorial with a bit of cycling on the side.

TIL that Phil Liggett, at 82, is still escaping the English winter to roast in the South Australian sun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Liggett

7Plus' coverage of the #TDU is mainly a promotional for tourism and businesses with a little bit of a #cycling race in between as filler.

Looks sunny and warm in the #AdelaideHills today. In my part of the hills, its cold, drizzling and grey.

I have just discovered the #TDU goes past the end of my street on Friday during the men's stage 3 race.

Santo's sponsorship /is/ embarrassing for the TDU. Santos out of the TDU now!

Also, where are the male riders speaking up about it?

I first became aware of Teamsters for a Democratic Union in 1986 and have followed and supported their work ever since. #tdu #teamsters
