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.
