Three Days of De Panne

Filed under: Coverage,Criticism,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 10:10+00:00

Now that RAI Sport 2 (13e) has a schedule online, it’s turning into quite a haven for cycling. Today (Tue 29 March), there’s coverage of the Three Days of De Panne from 14:30-17:00 cet, with another show 22:30-23:30.

Now, it would be even better if I could find a schedule for more than just today – but given how reliable RAI’s timings aren’t, it probably doesn’t matter!

Gent-Wevelgem 2011

Filed under: Coverage,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 11:14+00:00

It looks like Gent-Wevelgem, the first of the main Belgian spring classics, is on free-to-air satellite TV on RAI Sport 2 (13e) from 16:00-18:10 cet. It doesn’t say live (diretta) by it, but at that time (expected finish 16:27), it can’t be far off, can it?

RAI Sport 2 also shows GP Cittiglio CDM at 20:00, track at 21:30, Criterium International highlights at 23:30 and G-W highlights at 00:15. It’s a pretty good channel to have.

If you see G-W on another free channel, please leave a comment.

Criterium International

Filed under: Coverage,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 01:19+00:00

There are three races on today, but the easiest one to watch on free TV is Criterium International from Corsica which is on France 2 (5w) from 15:40 CET.

Please let me know in a comment if you spot more coverage of this or another race on free TV.

Milan-San Remo

Filed under: Coverage,Criticism,Eurosport,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 10:31+00:00

Live Free-to-air Satellite TV coverage of Milan-San Remo seems to be limited to RAI3 (13e) from 14:50 CET today (Saturday 19 March 2011). Highlights are on Eurosport (19e) 18:00-19:00 CET.

Please, if you spot it on any other free-to-air channels, leave me a comment or tweet @mjray or similar. I’ll check back here before the race.

Paris-Nice, the Race to the Sun

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

So the World Tour FreeTV cycling season starts in earnest with Paris-Nice, the race to the sun. You can watch the race every day on France 3 (5w), from about 13:30 CET for the first stage, 16:10 CET during the week.

Eurosport (19e) also has live coverage from Monday, but only highlights in the evening today (Sunday 6 March, the first stage).

There will be a race review on itv4 (28e) at some future date, but I didn’t find it in their schedule yet. I think it’s been something like a month after the race in previous years!

The race organisers list Eurovision as a media sponsor, so it might be on other channels too. Have you seen satellite free TV coverage elsewhere?
