The third and final grand tour of the year approaches! As you’d expect, the main coverage is from Spanish national broadcaster TVEI on a wide range of satellites with show times apparently only published a few days ahead now. In previous years, TVEI times had been published a week or two ahead.
Eurosport is the next best, free-to-air n German at 19e, with Vuelta shows starting at 1600 CET most days.
Who else is covering this race free-to-air?
Bernie just wrote back: “Dont remember such a long broadcast before on TVE Int as tomorrow

If you have an old analogue receiver and can look at Astra 1, you can get Eurosport Int with English commentary instead of German (you can get German too if you like!)
To MI Ray and Bernie – TVEi did pretty good coverage of the Vuelta last year as well.
