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

British Eurosport is going tennis bonkers this week, so Tour de Suisse is relegated to highlights only, every evening. From Thursday, BE is also showing nightly highlights of the Route du Sud.

The Aviva Women's Tour which starts today is scheduled for 8.00 on ITV4.

As always the timings given do not quite match what my Sky Plus machine says. The first highlights package I found for the time-trial was 6.00pm on Friday. The Road Race seems to be on live on Eurosport. What would we do without time shift?

On that link "A one-hour highlights programme on ITV4 (Freeview channel 24, Sky channel 120, Virgin channel 118) on Monday 29 June from 6pm."

I've got
Sat: time trials highlights - 23:00 Eurosport 2
Sun: Road race live - 11:30 - 16:45 Eurosport
Road race highlights - 19:00 - 21:00 Eurosport 2
Mon: Road race highlights - 19:00 0 20:00 ITV4
Does that tally with everybody else's schedules?

Working through my EPG on the Sky+ I find the first TT highlights comes up on Eurosport 2 at 6.00pm Friday. There seems to be a repeat at 10.00pm on the same channel. (Followed, by the way, at 11.00pm by Milk Race highlights from Nottingham.) The TT package is repeated at 11.00pm on Eurosport 2 on Saturday night.

Live coverage of the Road Race appears to start at 11.30am on Sunday on Eurosport. (after an hour of highlights from the London Nocturne) and goes on to about 4.30pm. There is a 2 and 1/2 hour highlights programme on Eurosport 2 on Sunday evening at 7.00pm.

All this is taken from a slow scrolling through my Sky+ listings, but you can never be sure of what happens on Eurosport!

Hope this helps.

Not only racing but past series have had a decidedly racey feel... http://www.tvguide.co.uk/detail/147392623/109256840/the-cycle-show Presenter Matt Barbet ITV4 8:00pm-9:00pm (1 hour )Thu 2 Jul (New Series) (Subtitles) The Cycle Show - which I guess means it'll be back-to-back with the TdF highlights for the next few weeks. You didn't want to get anything else done on Thursday evenings, did you? Oh, at least three of the Lynn clubs have rides then Hooray for PVRs!

I just spotted that. I've just put it in the calendar.

The RideLondon elite race is on BBC tv on Sunday. They're also showing the women's GP the day before. Both are on Eurosport too.

The Cycle Show just IS painful @MrGrumpy. Close but no cigar, again.

"Chris Froome: How The Tour Was Won" is on itv4 now. Looks like a clip show of itv tour coverage with a new documentary-style voiceover.
