Critérium international

Filed under: Coverage,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 11:33+00:00

Critérium international is live on Sunday 29 March, 1515-1620 CET on France 3, which is FTA at 5w.

GP E3 and Flèche Brabançonne

Filed under: Coverage,Criticism,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 11:27+00:00

GP E3 is on RTBFsat at 1430 CET today (Saturday 28 March), probably live. Highlights may be on NOS Studio Sport, 21:55-22:40 CET on BVN (13e and 19e).

A comment by Bernie S asks “Does anyone know why RTBFSat are covering GP E3 on Saturday but not Flèche Brabançonne on Sun ? They have done both in previous years.”

I don’t know. There don’t even appear to be highlights on BVN – maybe Sporza or the Pijl’s organisers are asking too much?

World Track Championships

Filed under: BBC,Coverage,Criticism,Eurosport,Live Events — MJ Ray @ 02:37+00:00

One of the few events with BBC coverage, the World Track Championships start today.

BBC are FTA at 28e, aimed at the UK. Generally shown in the evening. See the BBC Two and BBCi schedule – it’s interesting yet disappointing that they’re already listing September’s World Road Championships but nothing in between.

Eurosport is FTA at 19e, aimed at Europe. Generally shown in the afternoon. Eurosport Bahn-WM schedule.

RAI is FTA at 13e, aimed at Europe. Teletext listings (usually today and tomorrow). Also seems to be generally evening-time shows.

Anywhere else that you know of?

Brian wrote in “Dwars door Vlaanderen / A travers la Flandre being shown on RTBF this afternoon from 1430 CET”. RTBFsat is on 13e with teletext listings here. Sorry for the late notice (see “utterings” in the sidebar).

“Settimana Ciclistica Internazionale di Coppi e Bartali, Starts on RAI Sports Più, Tue 24 Mar 2009, 1700-1745 CET.

Looks like same channel and similar times until the race finishes on Sat, 28 Mar 2009”

Thanks Dave! You spotted that a few days before I would have!

In other news, where’s the Castilla y Leon FTAsat coverage? Not on Eurosport, not on TVEi…

Milan-San Remo

Filed under: Coverage,Criticism,Eurosport,ITV,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 10:24+00:00

The 298km spring Classicissima takes place on Saturday 21st Mar 2009.

Coverage on free-to-air satellite includes Eurosport.de (at 19e), 1550-1715 CET and RAI Tre (13e), 1450-1550 CET (RAI listings – thanks to Dave Fisher). I think that last year it also appeared on itv4 on a Monday evening, but I can’t see it there yet!

If you see it on another channel, leave a comment, please.

Tirreno-Adriatico

Filed under: Coverage,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 11:24+00:00

For some reason, I didn’t spot this one coming until the main cyclingfans site started covering it. As is probably obvious to everyone by now, this Italian race is on both RAI Tre and Rai Sport pìu. See today and tomorrow’s coverage times from Teletext.

Paris-Nice

Filed under: Coverage,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 02:48+00:00

Here’s the free-to-air satellite details for the first big French cycle race of the year. Please add any updates in the comments, particularly any UK coverage.

Sunday 9 March – 15:10 France 3, Amilly – Amilly 9km ITT (highlights 00:50 CET Eurosport)

Monday 9 March – 14:45-16:30 CET Eurosport, Saint-Brisson-sur-Loire – La Chapelle-Saint-Ursin

Tuesday 10 March – 14:45-16:30 CET Eurosport, Orval – Vichy (highlghts 13:30 CET Wednesday)

Wednesday 11 March – 14:30-16:30 CET Eurosport, Vichy – Saint-Étienne

Thursday 12 March – 14:30-16:30 CET Eurosport, Annonay – Vallon-Pont-d’Arc

Friday 13 March – 14:30-16:30 CET Eurosport, Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux – La Montagne de Lure

Saturday 14 March – 14:30-16:30 CET Eurosport and France 2, Manosque – Fayence

Sunday 15 March – 13:25-15:20 CET France 3, Nice-Nice 119km (highlights 15:35-16:30 CET Eurosport, repeated Monday 14:00)

Eurosport means the German free-to-air channel at 19e, France 2 and France 3 are the free-to-air versions at 5w. I’m pretty sure it won’t be on RTBF-Sat or live on itv4, but I suspect it may be on RAI Sport Pìu live. Please leave a comment if you spot it first!
