Via Twitter Mike Tomalaris has suggested the  if voices are heard there could be some change, so WA viewers can see ALL cycling events LIVE.  SBS do offer a live web stream however this is not reliable and bandwidth intensive. As an example eduring the TDU, Cameron Meyers home town was not able to follow the last stage live as the web stream wasn’t working.  In this day an age of multimedia a delayed TV broadcast defeats the purpose of showing the race live.  For Tour of Flanders, the race was run and won before our coverage had started.

Tonight is no different with the Paris-Roubaix being telecast live in the eastern states, but delayed to start at the same “time” in the west.  There are 3 SBS channels which seem to just stream that same content as each other.  There are opportunities for SBS to give us a better product but they need to be told what we want.
