Cycling on TV

[S10GTA]

Since deleting Facebook I'm struggling to remember when races are and when they'll be on 'tele.

I wondered if it would be useful to have a thread where we could remind each other, save people like me missing them!

Paris - Roubaix highlights on itv4 currently.

I generally search for 'cycling' in the Sky+ app. Sometimes the Pro Cycling thread on here helps.

Currently trying to watch the Tour of Croatia, but Eurosport programme scheduling is being particularly woeful.

I've only got poor person tv...

Liege - Bastogne - Liege tomorrow. The last of this years Spring Classics. If you haven't got Eurosport, google live cycling streams or steephill.tv and there will be a fair few good streams to watch it on.

You can subscribe to Eurosport online. Until the Grand tours are shown on ITV4, Eurosport is the only option really.

Tour of Turkey starts Sunday on Eurosport as well as LBL.

Question for those with Eurosport online. Can you stream or download past broadcasts or are you just able to watch the live stream? In other words, if you're going to be out when an event is on, is there any way to watch it when you get back?

Usually they have most things on a 7 day catchup in the same way as iplayer.

A word of caution though - you can't download them however, and I was caught last year - the big grand tours don't have the option to watch the daily coverage on the catch up system, so I missed a few.

Thanks, timbob. Those GT daily catch-ups aside, it sounds fine for me.

Good to see some of my home county

Although why are all the graphics in french?!

[anonymous-user]

These crowds are incredible! tres bien Yorkshire...

Graphics are in French because its an ASO organised, UCI sanctioned race and because it just looks right in French.

Ah cheers! I had wondered (not really watched cycling before)

[mooseracer]

HOW many ad breaks......

[47p2]

Managed to watch it until 3:00pm then had to go out so I'll catch up with the highlights at 7:00pm tonight

For those interested in the bouncier versions of the sport, Red Bull TV has pretty decent coverage of amongst other things the Downhill and XC World Cup races.

If you've got an Xbox (and doubtless other devices too), there's a free app on there which includes watch on demand highlights of the last couple of years' DH races, as well as live coverage of this year's events.

Tour de Yorkshire on itv4 again
