Anders wrote in to say “RAI3 lists Amstel Gold coverage on 19th April 2009, 1545-1650”. RAI3 is free-to-air on 13e.
I’ve also seen Eurosport (19e) advertising coverage of the 44th Amstel Gold Race from 1515 CET.
Surprisingly, it doesn’t seem to be on anywhere else yet. Another blank on RTBFsat. Did someone cut their budget again?
If you spot it elsewhere, please leave a comment on this post.
The 45th Presidential Tour of Turkey is showing on Eurosport (19e) most days this week from 14:00 CET (only highlights showing later at the weekend) in German and also on TRT-1 (7e and 42e) in Turkish at similar times. The race finishes with a ride out of the capital next Sunday, 19 April.

It’s also on France 2 (5w), 1330-1735 CET and Eurosport.DE (19e), 1400-1730 CET.
“Commentary during RAI’s coverage of the Ronde Van Vlaanderan said Ghent-Wevelgem will be on RAI Sport Piu (13e), 1440 CET, on Wednesday, 8 April 2009. This is *not* confirmed by any of RAI’s online programme guides, but schedules tend to be a bit ‘flexible’ in Italy. Update: Today’s Ghent-Wevelgem has now appeared on the schedule for Rai Sport Piu’” Comment by Dave F — 2009-04-08 @ 09:34-06:00
The 93rd Rond van Vlaanderen from Bruges to Ninove is on Eurosport (FTA at 19e) from 1400-1700 CET tomorrow. Will it be Columbia-Highroad or does anyone else stand a chance?
I think GP Indurain is on etbsat (19e – ident EUSKADI TV) from 1555-1745 CET, but the listings aren’t working properly for me. (Thanks to Bernie S for the tip.)
itv4 at 28e has Paris-Nice highlights today at 1210 BST. On satellite, there’s an itv4+1 which will show it at 1310 BST.
It seems a bit strange to show the highlights so long after the event, but maybe this suggests the start of a sequence of highlights on Sunday lunchtimes. Nothing else showing on the schedules for the next two weeks yet, though.
itv, what are you playing at?
Critérium international is live on Sunday 29 March, 1515-1620 CET on France 3, which is FTA at 5w.
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?
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).
