The Amstel Gold is on Eurosport (19east) 1515-1700 CET on Sunday 20 April, RTBF Sat (also 19e) 14:15-16:15 CET, RAI Tre (13e) 15:45-18:00 CET and RAI Sport Sat (13e) 17:00-18:00 CET.
New this time, it’s also on young French digital channel W9 from 14:50 CET which is sometimes in the clear on 19e and 13e (I’ve not checked yet today), as well as terrestial digital in France.
RAI Sport Sat also show coverage of the Giro d’Oro and the Gran Fondo del Montello from 22:45 CET.
Bernie S again wrote to let me know that the Scheldeprijs/GP de l’Escaut is on RTBF Sat (19e) from 15:05 – 17:10 CET today. Check CyclingFans for online coverage and news updates.

Update: Bernie S emailed “Apparently Tour of Turkey is being carried by TRT International on Astra (19e) and Hotbird (13e)” Today’s schedule and it appears to be UTC+3.
Bernie S writes again “ETB Sat (19east) are transmitting Klassika Primavera from 1200 – 1400 cet on Sunday 13”.
It’s Friday night, I used to be in Norwich, it’s time for the Hell of the North! (reference)
The brilliant Bernie S tips again that “Both ARD (19 east and 13e) and RAI Tre (13e) are covering Paris Roubaix from 1530 CET on Sunday.” What’s more, France 2 (5w) has coverage from 1330 CET and Eurosport (19e) is there 1630-1730 CET.
Highlights are on Eurosport 1100 and 1530 CET on Monday, 1115 CET on Tuesday.
Eurosport don’t seem to be showing this race this year (I think they used to) but I think ETBsat (19 east) is showing it. I see they’re listing
Lunes 7 15:50 “LEGAZPI – LEGAZPI (137 KMS.)” 17:30
Martes 8 15:50 “2.ETAPA: LEGAZPI – ERANDIO (153 KMS.)” 17:35
Miércoles 9 15:55 “3. ETAPA : ERANDIO – VIANA (195 KMS.)” 17:40
Jueves 10 15:50 “ETAPA 4: VIANA – VITORIA – GASTEIZ (171” 17:35
Viernes 11 15:55 “ETAPA 5: VITORIA – GASTEIZ – ORIO (162 K” 17:35
Sábado 12 16:15 “6. ETAPA: ORIO – AIA – ORIO (20 KM.)”
which matches up with the official site stage list.
The Tour of Britain organisers emailed me to announce their launch. The race this year will be 7th – 14th September (starting stage 2 in my old stomping grounds of MK and finishing stage 3 in Burnham on Sea, the next town south from my home) and they announce daily coverage on itv4
on their front page.
Well done ToB and itv! That should be a vast improvement on the 2 hours on the last day that BBC were giving it, although I expect it’s highlights rather than live.
Bernie S again tipped me off that ETBsat is showing the GP Indurain on Saturday. I see they’re listing at 15:50 CET TXIRRINDULARITZA:INDURAIN SARIA “SANTUARIO DE PUY. LIZARRA” which I think might be it. Nice spot again Bernie!
Bernie S wrote in: “Bit concerned RTBF not showing Flanders on Sunday (4 hrs last year). Only Eurosport (19 east) and RAI Tre (13 east) I can find so far. I just checked ARD/ZDF no deal there. Also France 3 said on Sunday at CI that Flanders is not live there. So, coverage is a bit sparse, although NOS will probably show but are encrypted.”
Thanks Bernie. Eurosport is schedules show it as 13:00-17:00 CET and RAI Tre has it 15:10-18:00 CET (which probably means Eurosport will overrun and not show the presentations, as sadly usual). Unusually, it’s also on SFinfo (13 east) at 13:00 CET. Highlights 15:15 CET Monday and 13:30 CET Wednesday on Eurosport.
