Will SuperSport broadcast the Vuelta Espana??

LIVE?

Don't think so, man.

Maybe some live stages on the weekends and highlight packages during the week.
Cannot remember what the 2011 deal was.

No. PnP don't do it as the Americans have no interest in it. However the days of DSTV telling you what you can watch are over with live streaming of every cycle race and other sporting event worldwide.

And you get to choose the commentary you want and what language you want.

My memory is not that good, but I seem to recall Supersport did broadcast pretty much every stage, so I think there was good coverage in general last year, but I dont know whats planned for this year.

Personally I really enjoy the Vuelta so I hope there is some sort of extended coverage and not just a highlights package, that would be disappointing.

Froome Dog confirmed to lead the Tour Of Spain.
Gonna be intriguing to see him and Team Sky aim to continue their dominance.

Yeah, he is virtually out for the rest of the year.
I think a lot has to do with what's happening within the RNT setup.

Wonder who's gonna roll out for Leaky Gas?

making a subtle(ish) point here?

“I’m going to do the best job I can and do whatever’s required of me from the team,” said Froome. “Initially I’ll be riding for the GC, but if one of my teammates shows that they’re in a better place to win the race then I’ll happily work for them. We’re sending a first-rate squad and it should be a really exciting race.”  

I am expecting Froome to be a first rate team leader in EVERY sense.  Going to be a very interesting tour.
