Hi,
Thanks for a great coverage
Could you please take more care when you take a break i.e. not just before a sprint to the finish involving a group with an Australian in it a la last night
Not sure I’m too keen on the whole Gabrielle Gate thing
All up though love your work
Regards,
Feels a bit strange to reply to myself, but just got this from our friends at SBS
Dear Viewer,
During last night's broadcast of the Tour de France coverage some crucial moments at the end of Stage 12, including the finishing sprints of some of the contestants for the green jersey, were obscured by a commercial break.
SBS's late night Tour de France coverage is a live broadcast. As the course of the race is unpredictable and it has no natural breaks, the appropriate placement of commercial breaks during the race relies on the skills of the operators making a call on where they will cause least disruption.
Unfortunately on this occasion it is clear those skills failed. SBS apologises unreservedly and will make every effort to ensure that such a mishap does not happen again.
