John J wrote in that the Tour of Turkey starts Sun 24th on Eurosport (19e) and TRT3 (42e). There is live coverage every day in the week on Eurosport. I used to be able to see TRT3 at 7e – I can’t at the moment but that’s probably just my dish being slightly out of alignment.
The organiser’s site is tourofturkey.org and there’s more useful info about online coverage on cyclingfans.com.
Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2011 is go! Here are the free TV coverage details which I’ve found so far:
RAI Sport 2 (13e) has coverage listed from 12:00 CET, which is unusually early, but the first show is something like “Eve of LBL” so live coverage might not be starting until 14:00. From 15:05 CET, it is also on RAI 3 (also 13e, so it doesn’t really add much). Highlights are on RAI Sport 2, 22:30-01:00 tonight.
Eurosport (19e) has coverage from 14:16 CET today and highlights 12:30-13:30 tomorrow.
France 3 (5w) has coverage from 15:20 CET today. Again, it seems a bit unusual to me for France 3 to be the latest start. Anyone know what’s going on in France Televisions?
Have you spotted coverage on other free-to-air satellite TV? Please, leave a comment and let the world know!
2011 Flèche Wallonne LIVE on the CyclingFans Main Site has details of online coverage, but what if you’d like to watch it on Free TV?
Cycling stalwart Eurosport (19e) has live coverage from 14:05 CET and highlights 23:00-00:15 tonight.
RaiSport2 (13e) rather cryptically says “14:00 Ciclismo classiche del nord” which I think is probably it and there’s highlights 23:20-00:20 (there’s also Giro del Trentino highlights too).
ASO’s usual home broadcaster France 3 (5w) has live coverage, but only from 15:00 CET, which seems a bit odd. Do they know something we don’t, or is Inspecteur Derrick really that good?
If you spot it on other free-to-air satellite tv channels, please leave a comment.
The Amstel Gold Race is on free-to-air satellite TV today (Sunday 17 April). You can see it on RAI 3 (13e) from 1505 cet and Eurosport (19e) from 1520.
Oddly, it’s scheduled from 1700-1715 cet on RAI Sport 2, so I’m not sure what that’s about.
Highlights look to be on RAI Sport 2 2345-0115 tonight and Eurosport 0845-1000 tomorrow. (Again, both times cet.)
Have you seen it on other free channels? Please, leave a comment and let everyone know.
Happy hell-day! Paris-Roubaix live on FreeTV now: Eurosport (19e), RAI Sport 2 (13e) and France 3 (5w).
Sorry for the late notice. I was busier than I thought I would be yesterday. Thanks to the person who posted it in a comment: I’ve auto-approved you for the yet to be published page for future races. Happily, the main cyclingfans Paris-Roubaix posts have been a pretty good place to look for TV, because the online coverage for this race seems to be from the same stations.
Highlights will be on RAI Sport 2 17:00-17:15 and 22:00-23:30 CET (the second one is in between showings of Giro dell’Appennino) and on Eurosport at 01:00 CET, 10:30 and 16:30 tomorrow. Hope it’s a good one!
Bernie S wrote in to let us know that “RAIsport 2 (13e) is covering Tour of Basque Country but not on ETBSat as previous years but on Canal Vasco which is not as far as I can see on Satellite”.
Show times are: 15:30-17:00 CET and 22:30-23:30 Monday, 15:30-17:00 and 22:45-23:45 Tuesday, 17:00-18:30 and 22:30-23:30 Wednesday, 15:30-17:00 and 22:30-23:30 Thursday, 17:00-18:30 and 22:30-23:30 Friday and 17:00-18:30 and 00:00-01:00 Saturday. I’m guessing that some of those might be live, some delayed and the evening showings are highlights.
Sadly, he’s quite right about Canal Vasco – I can’t find it either. It seems to be broadcast only to America from Hispasat 30w. This race has been a late addition to ETBSat’s schedules at least one year before, but I doubt it will be this year because it’s also been on Eurosport in the past and isn’t this year. I think that’s sometimes a sign of a race losing media partners or trying+failing to raise its prices.
The Tour of Flanders is on today and you can watch it free-to-air by Satellite on Eurosport (19e) from 12:30, RAI Sport 2 (13e) from 12:20 and France 3 (5w) from 15:20 (all times CET).
It looks like 30 minute highlights are on RAI Sport 2 at 17:00 and 22:30.
As ever, live internet coverage links are on the cyclingfans Tour of Flanders page but if you see more free TV links, please leave me a comment. I’m actually near my computer more today, so should post them up in good time!
