The World Championships from Mendriso, Switzerland sees UK coverage switch back to the BBC with coverage on BBC Two, BBCi (usually called STREAM-0 up to STREAM-6 – both 28e) and online. It looks like only the senior races are on the BBC.

Across Europe, more races are on Eurosport at 19e and RAI Tre and RAI Sport Píu at 13e. The senior races and short reports from others are also on SLO-2 at 13e.

It doesn’t appear to be on RTBF-Sat, TVEI or RTPI. If you spot it on other free-to-air satellite channels, please leave a comment here.

Tour of Britain

Filed under: Coverage,ITV,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 02:12+00:00

ToB Taunton Banner The Tour of Britain started today!

Coverage is free-to-air on itv4 (28e) and it’s at 7pm BST most nights, except for 7.30pm on Sunday, 8pm Wednesday and 10.30pm(???) Thursday. TV times are shown on the itv Cycling web page.

It’s Britain’s top race and comes to Somerset for two key days this year just before the race-finishing 92km London circuit stage next Saturday.

Is it on TV anywhere else? I didn’t find it yet. I guess the Vuelta is more attractive for most broadcasters who are going to show cycle racing.
