SBS Cycling Coverage

[Vader]

Has anyone else noticed a major reduction in cycling coverage in 2017?

Last year the Strade Bianchi and Milan-San Remo were both shown live on SBS. This year, neither of them were. The only race they've shown so far is Paris-Nice.

With the Spring Classics rapidly approaching (Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix, etc), do we know which (if any) of these races will be shown on SBS this year?

weren't invited to bid for either.

EDIT: i am a casual fan of cycling but how great is Tomo. he is very passionate about professional cycling and is one of the main reasons for the growth of the sport in Australia.

Well im confused, this is certainly worse than last year. http://www.sbs.com.au/cyclingcentral/article/2015/07/29/cycling-sbs-tv-and-online

Going by that we are only getting highlights shows of the Classics. Hope this is wrong.
