Red Bull Air Race - Media coverage not!

Not able to get to PER for the event, I watched all the main media during the w/e and did not see a thing on the event.

A phone call from the event advised that Matt Hall had come 2nd and I expected to see some coverage last night, however a night of channel surfing including Sky News came up with nothing again. Late last night, Sky had a short bit running across the bottom of the screen but that was it.
More channel surfing this morning and neither 7 or 9 have had any coverage that I have seen.

Makes one think perhaps there are "other" reasons why not?? I bet however if someone had gone for another swim it would have been "news".

Why is it that good stuff in Aviation is not seen as newsworthy????

Update: Short grab with Matt on Sunrise (7) just before 8.30, but still not in the news or sport section.....
