Cycling Fans on Satellite

One of my favourite races, Liege-Bastogne-Liege is still on free-to-air satellite TV.

Eurosport (19e) is showing it from 14:00 CET until 17:00, with highlights tomorrow 14:00-15:30 CET.

France 3 (5w) show the race from 15:20-17:15 CET.

A volcanic ash cloud has grounded most of northern Europe’s flights and excluded some competitors, but the Amstel Gold Race is still on free-to-air satellite TV.

Eurosport (19e) is showing it from 15:15 CET until 17:00, with the Presidential Tour of Turkey following it. Highlights are shown tonight 23:45-00:20 CET.

RAI Tre (13e) shows it from 15:05 until 16:50.

Paris-Roubaix, the Hell of the North with its cobbled sections, is on France 2 (5w) from 1330, Rai Sport (13e) from 1400, Rai Tre (13e) from 1510 and Eurosport (19e) from 1435. Highlghts are on Eurosport tomorrow 0030-0118 and 1130-1300. All times CET. Read more general coverage at cyclingfans.com.

And the cycling keeps on coming… ETBsat (19e) has the Tour of the Basque Country daily, starting at 16:35 CET today. If you haven’t watched ETB (which I think identifies itself in the EPG as Euskadi TV) since last season, note that its transmission details changed last November.

Read other race coverage at cyclingfans.com for a fuller introduction to the race. The tour is on some Eurosport versions, but not the freetv one. Have you found the race on other free-to-air channels? If so, please leave a comment to tell us.

Despite the sad loss of Belgian state broadcaster RTBFsat back in February, the Tour of Flanders still has good coverage for free-to-air satellite viewers.

Eurosport (19e) is showing it from 13:00 CET until 17:00 (although I suspect they’ll do their usual trick of switching away before the podium presentations). Highlights are shown tomorrow (Monday) 12:30 CET.

RAI Sport Pìu (13e) is live from 14:30 CET until 17:00, while RAI Tre (13e) joins them from 15:05 until 16:40.
