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.
If you’re wondering where are the big names not at Paris-Nice, they’re probably in this race: Bettini, Boonen, Freire, Petacchi, Cancellara and Cavendish are all on the start list. Check the Cycling Fans live coverage home page for links and more, then watch it here:

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.
Just a quick post about the final cyclocross races: highlights from Hoogerheide are on RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) at 2255 CET tonight (Thu 24 Jan).
Highlights of this weekend’s Treviso-Veneto races (26 and 27 Jan) should be on Eurosport (free-to-air at 19 east), 0900-1000 CET Mon 28 Jan. If you know of other broadcasters showing the race, please leave me a comment.
Sven Nys has this pretty tied up, no?
Hope you had a good Christmas Day if you celebrate it. The cycling starts again already: RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have highlights of today’s seventh Cyclocross World Cup event from Hofstade Belgium at 22:30 CET today (Wednesday). No idea whether it will be repeated… my recent predictions seem to have been a bit wrong.
Hofstade is the sixth elite men’s event to actually happen, after the cancellation of their race at the Milan round. Sven Nys of Belgium leads the elite men’s rankings by almost 500 points from compatriots Bart Wellens and Klaas Vantornout. Daphny van den Brand of the Netherlands leads the elite women by 340 points from USA’s Katherine Compton. 300 points for a win, then 260, 220, 190, 170, and so on. The contests aren’t over yet.
Update: It’s on again 22:30 CET today (Thursday) and repeated at 11:10 tomorrow (Friday) according to teletext.
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.
RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have highlights of today’s fourth cyclocross World Cup event at Koksijde at 21:45 CET today (Saturday). I’d expect it to be repeated later in the week, maybe Tuesday again.
After the comments on a recent post, at least one reader should be happy that RAI Sport Sat (free-to-air 13e) have a quarter-hour show of last weekend’s third cyclocross World Cup event at Pijnacker from 18:40-18:55 CET today (Tuesday).
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?
