Big Weekend of Cycling

Filed under: Coverage,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 10:30+00:00

Enough of that cycling on wood in Manchester (which continues on Eurosport, 19 east, and BBC2 and BBCi 28 east if you want to see lots of British winners) – there’s a lot of road cycling to watch this weekend.

RTBF Sat shows GP de l’E3, 15:00-17:05 CET Saturday and la flèche brabançonne 15:20-17:25 CET Sunday, 19 east.

France 3 shows Criterium international 16:00-17:00 CET Sunday, 5 west.

RAI Sport Sat shows Coppi E Bartali 17:30 CET Saturday, 13 east (also 23:00 CET Tuesday, 18:30 Wednesday to Saturday).

  1. Hello,

    I came across your site doing a Google search for Cycling coverage on TV, and am hoping you can spare a few minutes to provide me with some information. At the moment I currently receive British Eurosport 1 & 2 through my Sky box but I am fed up with having to pay for poor coverage of cycling events, especially when compared to International Eurosport which is also free.

    From the google searches I’ve done it seems that Internation Eurosport’s English feed is only broadcast through analogue, whereas the digital feed for International Eurosport is in German. My problem is that I live in South Wales where analogue is due to be switched off next year so it won’t be very cost effective to buy all the analogue kit if it won’t work in 12 months time. Is my only realistic long term option to buy a dish that would allow me to pick up digital International Eurosport (plus a German dictionary!)?

    By the way – fascinating stuff reading about all the foreign channels that show cycling. Are you able to recommend a good dish that could pick up these channels? I like the sound of the motor control too. I don’t fancy climbing up a ladder every other day to reposition the dish!

    Many thanks in advance

    Erol
