Just a quick post about the final cyclocross races: highlights from Hoogerheide are on RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) at 2255 CET tonight (Thu 24 Jan).
Highlights of this weekend’s Treviso-Veneto races (26 and 27 Jan) should be on Eurosport (free-to-air at 19 east), 0900-1000 CET Mon 28 Jan. If you know of other broadcasters showing the race, please leave me a comment.
Sven Nys has this pretty tied up, no?
Hope you had a good Christmas Day if you celebrate it. The cycling starts again already: RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have highlights of today’s seventh Cyclocross World Cup event from Hofstade Belgium at 22:30 CET today (Wednesday). No idea whether it will be repeated… my recent predictions seem to have been a bit wrong.
Hofstade is the sixth elite men’s event to actually happen, after the cancellation of their race at the Milan round. Sven Nys of Belgium leads the elite men’s rankings by almost 500 points from compatriots Bart Wellens and Klaas Vantornout. Daphny van den Brand of the Netherlands leads the elite women by 340 points from USA’s Katherine Compton. 300 points for a win, then 260, 220, 190, 170, and so on. The contests aren’t over yet.
Update: It’s on again 22:30 CET today (Thursday) and repeated at 11:10 tomorrow (Friday) according to teletext.
RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have a show called “Year of Cycling” at 17:15 CET today (Monday 24th). I’d expect it to be repeated later in the week, maybe tomorrow.
RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have highlights of today’s fourth cyclocross World Cup event at Koksijde at 21:45 CET today (Saturday). I’d expect it to be repeated later in the week, maybe Tuesday again.
After the comments on a recent post, at least one reader should be happy that RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have a quarter-hour show of last weekend’s third cyclocross World Cup event at Pijnacker from 18:40-18:55 CET today (Tuesday).
SLO2 (FTA 13e) is advertising a sports documentary called RAAM 2007 today (Saturday 10 November) at 1630 CET – that might be the Race Across AMerica and there’s no telling what language it will be in!
RAI Sport Sat (FTA 13e)
has coverage of the 4 Days of Milan stage from Montichiari to Castellana on Sunday 11 November at 1700 CET. I can’t find this race on the UCI calendar – does anyone know it?
The ProTour may be over, but there’s coverage of the category 1.1 race from Firenza-Pistoia on RAI Tre from 16:55-17:25 CET (free-to-air 13e), repeated
RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) from 21:15-21:45 CET today.
RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have highlights of the second cyclocross World Cup event in Tabor, Czech Republic at 23:00 CET today. More introduction to cycling’s winter cousin on cyclingfans.com.
Damiano Cunego won yesterday’s Tour of Lombardy but it doesn’t affect the overall: Cadel Evans still tops the 2007 ProTour.
RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have coverage of the first cyclocross World Cup event of the season from 14:55-16:00 CET today. More introduction to cycling’s winter cousin on cyclingfans.com.
Coverage of the last ProTour cycle race of the year is live on Eurosport (free-to-air on 19e) 15.15-17.00 CET and on RaiTre (13e) 15:50-17.00 CET. Strangely, I can’t find a French station for this one.
There’s also an introduction to digital satellite TV and digital TV in general at the start of BBC’s current Click show: show times on BBC World and on BBC News24 or the video is available in some formats online. Do you have questions about free-to-air digital satellite TV? Leave me a comment – I’ll have plenty of time to reply now the ProTour season is finished.
