Big Weekend of Cycling

Filed under: Coverage,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 10:30+00:00

Enough of that cycling on wood in Manchester (which continues on Eurosport, 19 east, and BBC2 and BBCi 28 east if you want to see lots of British winners) – there’s a lot of road cycling to watch this weekend.

RTBF Sat shows GP de l’E3, 15:00-17:05 CET Saturday and la flèche brabançonne 15:20-17:25 CET Sunday, 19 east.

France 3 shows Criterium international 16:00-17:00 CET Sunday, 5 west.

RAI Sport Sat shows Coppi E Bartali 17:30 CET Saturday, 13 east (also 23:00 CET Tuesday, 18:30 Wednesday to Saturday).

Milan-San Remo

Filed under: Coverage,Eurosport,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 03:26+00:00

Everyone’s favourite Saturday one-day classic so far this year(!) will be live on RAI Tre (13e) from 14:50 CET.

Highlights are on Eurosport (19e) at 17:00 CET. (It’s live on Eurosport 2, but that’s not free-to-air.)

Anyone found other free TV coverage? This seems surprisingly sparse, but I guess it competes with skating and swimming championships.

GP Costa degli Etruschi

Filed under: Coverage,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 01:53+00:00

RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have highlights of GP Costa degli Etruschi at 18:00-18:30 CET today (Saturday 9th).

The CyclingNews start list (beware, results will appear higher up on that page) suggests it’s the first time for most of us to see some of the big names on TV this season, including a fairly strong Milram squad supporting Alessandro Petacchi, who’s looking for his fourth win in a row at this event.

Year of Cycling

Filed under: Coverage,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 04:08+00:00

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.

RAAM 2007 and 4 Days of Milan

Filed under: Coverage,Road racing — MJ Ray @ 11:40+00:00

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?
