SBS in Australia. They have the Tour, Vuelta, Giro, and a bunch of other races - all free and live. I think they do catch-up as well

Mine takes 38s but the clearance on the front derailleur is rather tight.

This is the bit of the FM Conway website mentioning the event:

this is the website for the event, which FM Conway is sponsoring rather than running:

I was asked if I wanted to ride but can't as I'm racing that weekend. A colleague of mine will be riding though. There are three routes, short, medium and long. Riding at the velodrome is a good experience if you haven't done it before. But for anyone going, I'd suggest taking the train to Herne Hill as the station is very close at hand. Parking in the area around the velodrome is very restricted due to the large numbers of (large 4x4) vehicles the residents of Dulwich own so driving there might not be such a good idea.
Fascinating, do tell us more.
