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

Presumably Abu Dhabi is on somewhere?

British Eurosport are showing the first stage live but stages two to four are highlights only.

Yup. I've only just got back home and I'm updating the calendar. Meanwhile....
1215-1400 British Eurosport Live Cycling
Abu Dhabi Tour stage 1: Qasr Al Sarab - Madinat Zayed

British Eurosport are showing the first stage live but stages two to four are highlights only.

This is also live on main Eurosport. 1215-1356 UK time (as much as timings matter to Eurosport!)

I also confirm that Sunday's Paris-Tours is on France3 from 1420 UK time. They seem to be calling it the 109th "Dead Leaves Classic" «Classique des feuilles mortes» which is a name I'd not heard before!

Rest of description: a return to Chartres for the start for the first time since 2009. As usual, the course runs across the windswept Beauce Plains before the much-awaited finish on the celebrated Avenue de Grammont in Tours.

Paris-Tours highlights on ITV4 now.

Eurosport currently showing Revolution track event - one of my mates is there as coach for Team Scotland; I asked him to do a streak round the track - he declined. But he's unpredictable, so you never know...

Anyone know if there is TV coverage of the UCI World Cup Track Cycling in Columbia?

I haven't seen anything for the TV. You might have to go via the UCI Channel on YouTube.

Thanks DM I'll give that a go. Do you know if the channel is available through Smart TV as well as PC - or is it blocked?

As far as I understand it, if a broadcaster picks up the rights, the UCI block the stream for that country. If nobody picks it up, the UCI channel stays open. Generally, the UCI channel is pretty good resolution so HDMI-ing your PC to the TV might be the way.

I don't know anything about Smart TV but I'd guess that if it happily streams youtube then the same rights principle applies.

Thanks - my Smart TV shows youtube great but it seems certain live streaming youtube stuff get blocked sometimes

Should be good viewing
