Astra but I have never watched the channel so I assume it would be the same
prog as their live stream over the net. Fleche 1400 cet, LBL 1500 cet” - I’ve only seen the RTL.lu channel on 19e used for news in Luxemburgish, but I’ve not really been checking it much.
The Amstel Gold is on Eurosport (19east) 1515-1700 CET on Sunday 20 April, RTBF Sat (also 19e) 14:15-16:15 CET, RAI Tre (13e) 15:45-18:00 CET and RAI Sport Sat (13e) 17:00-18:00 CET.
New this time, it’s also on young French digital channel W9 from 14:50 CET which is sometimes in the clear on 19e and 13e (I’ve not checked yet today), as well as terrestial digital in France.

Bernie S writes again “ETB Sat (19east) are transmitting Klassika Primavera from 1200 - 1400 cet on Sunday 13″.
It’s Friday night, I used to be in Norwich, it’s time for the Hell of the North! (reference)
The brilliant Bernie S tips again that “Both ARD (19 east and 13e) and RAI Tre (13e) are covering Paris Roubaix from 1530 CET on Sunday.” What’s more, France 2 (5w) has coverage from 1330 CET and Eurosport (19e) is there 1630-1730 CET.
Highlights are on Eurosport 1100 and 1530 CET on Monday, 1115 CET on Tuesday.
Eurosport don’t seem to be showing this race this year (I think they used to) but I think ETBsat (19 east) is showing it. I see they’re listing
Lunes 7 15:50 “LEGAZPI - LEGAZPI (137 KMS.)” 17:30
Martes 8 15:50 “2.ETAPA: LEGAZPI - ERANDIO (153 KMS.)” 17:35
Miércoles 9 15:55 “3. ETAPA : ERANDIO - VIANA (195 KMS.)” 17:40
Jueves 10 15:50 “ETAPA 4: VIANA - VITORIA - GASTEIZ (171″ 17:35
Viernes 11 15:55 “ETAPA 5: VITORIA - GASTEIZ - ORIO (162 K” 17:35
Sábado 12 16:15 “6. ETAPA: ORIO - AIA - ORIO (20 KM.)”
which matches up with the official site stage list.
The Tour of Britain organisers emailed me to announce their launch. The race this year will be 7th - 14th September (starting stage 2 in my old stomping grounds of MK and finishing stage 3 in Burnham on Sea, the next town south from my home) and they announce daily coverage on itv4
on their front page.
Well done ToB and itv! That should be a vast improvement on the 2 hours on the last day that BBC were giving it, although I expect it’s highlights rather than live.
