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.

Tour of the Basque Country

Filed under: Coverage,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 09:34+00:00

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.

Tour of Flanders

Filed under: Coverage,Eurosport,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 09:28+00:00

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.
