Tells us what cycling is coming up on TV....

That's great if you like a snoopy Auntie tracking what you watch, but it's high def on satellite and a lot on freeview too,

Sorry meant ultra hd. I expect all catch up services track you but that is predicted to be way how all TV will be delivered.

We should resist it and BBC should broadcast UHD like France 2, RAI, RTL and others, not exploit it as a way to track more of its viewers.

So, San Sebastián is live on Saturday at 2pm, but the next coverage on TNT isn’t until next Wednesday with the Tour de L’Ain.

You've got the Tour de France Femmes and the Tour de Wallonie on at the moment, the Classic San Sebastian on Saturday, the Tour of Poland starting Monday, the Tour de I'Ain on Wednesday, Artic race of Norway Thursday and then the Tour of Denmark and there's a few more right up to the start of the Vuelta. the good news is these are all available ad free on the down side it looks like both the men's and woman's Tour de France are going to only be available with ads, I hope they have a rethink.

So, Poland does return after a couple of years absence from our screens.
Not only that but coverage starts around 11-30am and runs for over 4 hours, from Monday.
From Wednesday, L’Ain will follow afterwards,
making it a marathon!
Norway could be streaming only.

A revision to my post regarding Poland.
Turns out we have live, whole stage coverage for the entire race.
They must think they are the Tour de France.

I caught a replay but as yesterdays World Championships featured Britains best cyclist, BMX is always worth a watch/rewatch.

Is that confirmed yet? I fear it may be only awful iPlayer coverage.

Now confirmed: Men's Tour of Britain will be on itv4 and itvX from Tuesday 2nd September to Sunday 7th.

There are definitely highlights. There's mention of "all of the action every day" which suggests live flag-to-finish. No details of commentators yet, but Ned Boulting is presenting.

It's great to see. If only the Women's Tour of Britain had half as good as this, instead of being hidden away in the menus on snoopy BBC iPlayer.

There is no ahead advertising so with iPlayer only events you only get to know it is on after the event has actually started.
Quite crazy.

However you can watch it for around a month thereafter

Sometimes ! It happens that some BBC events are licensed for live only.
There is also the near permanent 'an error has occurred' that can happen too on clicking certain listings.

The womens tour was also on YouTube
Maybe the mens as well?

Maybe. Youtube's advance programme info is worse than Eurosport's!

 

[Mike_P]

Aside fom ToB being on ITV4 from Tuesday at 10.40 with highlights at 8pm, on Monday BBC Scotland at 9pm has a documentary on a charity cycle ride from Glasgow to Munich.

So, that's it.

The only cycling ITV will have next year with be the Tour of Britain again as they have also lost the rights to Paris/Nice.

All very sad indeed
