In the days leading up to the first race of cycling's World Tour, and despite the uncertainties of which rider might dominate, I'm sure the winner of the Santos Tour Down Under will likely be Australian.

The process of assembling a Tour de France “Team of the Century” featuring Australian only riders is not so easy, writes Mike Tomalaris.

The women's road race at the UCI Road World Championships has certainly whipped up a hornet's nest online while several opinion pieces has kept discussions simmering.

I have a confession to make. The idea of Yorkshire winning the tender to host the Grand Depart is still very difficult to comprehend but the UK’s biggest county in England’s north has worked extremely hard and rightfully deserves the accolade.

With the FIFA World Cup dominating world wide interest and the SBS television and online screens doing the same for the next four weeks, most viewers, including regular followers of cycling, have been gripped by the matches from Brazil.

The 2014 Giro d’Italia has arrived and for the first time SBS management has boldly decided to screen every stage of this year's race live. It’s another breakthrough in the network’s history, growth and support for world cycling, writes Mike Tomalaris.

As much as it would be in my interest to get along and have a peek, I really don't have the urge to squirm through a two hour documentary highlighting cycling's biggest fraud, writes Mike Tomalaris.

It goes without saying the international TV coverage and worldwide exposure the Tour de France's new one-day women's race will be an enormous advertisement for the women's game at a time when it's screaming for global attention, recognition and respect.
