Liege-Bastogne-Liege

Filed under: Coverage,Eurosport,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 10:57+00:00

One of my favourite races, Liege-Bastogne-Liege is still on free-to-air satellite TV.

Eurosport (19e) is showing it from 14:00 CET until 17:00, with highlights tomorrow 14:00-15:30 CET.

France 3 (5w) show the race from 15:20-17:15 CET.

Amstel Gold Race

Filed under: Coverage,Eurosport,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 10:21+00:00

A volcanic ash cloud has grounded most of northern Europe’s flights and excluded some competitors, but the Amstel Gold Race is still on free-to-air satellite TV.

Eurosport (19e) is showing it from 15:15 CET until 17:00, with the Presidential Tour of Turkey following it. Highlights are shown tonight 23:45-00:20 CET.

RAI Tre (13e) shows it from 15:05 until 16:50.

Tour of Flanders

Filed under: Coverage,Eurosport,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 09:28+00:00

Despite the sad loss of Belgian state broadcaster RTBFsat back in February, the Tour of Flanders still has good coverage for free-to-air satellite viewers.

Eurosport (19e) is showing it from 13:00 CET until 17:00 (although I suspect they’ll do their usual trick of switching away before the podium presentations). Highlights are shown tomorrow (Monday) 12:30 CET.

RAI Sport Pìu (13e) is live from 14:30 CET until 17:00, while RAI Tre (13e) joins them from 15:05 until 16:40.

Paris-Tours

Brian wrote in “Paris-Tours on France3 (5w) at 1525 local (1425 UK) plus Eurosport de (19E) at 1500 local (1400 UK) – does not seem to be scheduled for British Eurosport.”

It’s also on RTBF-Sat (13e) from 1525 CET (1425) until 1705 CET.

World Championships

Filed under: BBC,Coverage,Eurosport,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 08:36+00:00

The World Championships from Mendriso, Switzerland sees UK coverage switch back to the BBC with coverage on BBC Two, BBCi (usually called STREAM-0 up to STREAM-6 – both 28e) and online. It looks like only the senior races are on the BBC.

Across Europe, more races are on Eurosport at 19e and RAI Tre and RAI Sport Píu at 13e. The senior races and short reports from others are also on SLO-2 at 13e.

It doesn’t appear to be on RTBF-Sat, TVEI or RTPI. If you spot it on other free-to-air satellite channels, please leave a comment here.

Vuelta a Espana

Filed under: Coverage,Eurosport,Live Events,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 12:25+00:00

Brian wrote in “As expected the Vuelta is being shown on Eurosport.de starting Sat. but it seems it will also be shown live on Spanish channel TVEinternational (19E) – currently listed for Sat and Sun so far.”

TVEI is on a wide range of satellites with show times apparently only published a few days ahead, for the second year running.

Eurosport has Vuelta shows in the late afternoon most days.

Who else is covering this race free-to-air? RAI Sport pìu (13e) seems to prefer the Giro del Veneto at 1900 CET today.

Just a small note to anyone monitoring this feed to go look at the Tour of Ireland details over on our parent site cyclingfans.com. As well as itv4 (28e #ukfreetv) at 1900 BST, it’s also on Eurosport Germany (19e) about 0000 CET.

Bernie S writes in too: “The Vattenfalls race in Hamburg on Sunday is on both Eurosport and RAI Sport piu from 1545 cet”

This is a race that I usually miss and it looks like I’ll miss it again this year. Is it any good?
