Paris-Roubaix isn't until 10th April however L'Equipe reports the host broadcaster will be showing all of it, beginning to end, for the first time. Will Eurosport follow suit...?

In other unsurprising news, www.france3.fr has Paris-Nice on at 2pm UK Mon, Thu, Fri; 3.10pm Tue, Wed; 2.15pm Sat; 12.30 Sun.

While Rai Sport 2 has Tirreno-Adriatico at 1.15pm UK Wed-Sat, 1.10pm Sun, although they tend not to be as good at sticking to schedule as France 3! Plus P-N on delay and various repeats of highlights - check http://www.rai.it/dl/rai/guidaTv.html or EPG because I suspect it'll change often.

Both are viewable for free in the UK with standard DVB-S receivers.

I could've sworn British Euroskiing, sorry, Eurosport's schedule had Paris-Nice on one channel and Tirreno-Adriatico on the other. Looks like both races are on the same channel; T-A shown live first, P-N is a recording after. What a jip.

It's actually quite useful for us plebs using 15-year-old single-head antennas that can't record P-N while watching T-A :thumbsup:

T-A being live when they clash might be to butter up RCS because the Giro comes first and there's still time to give ASO some warm fuzzies before the Tour... and doesn't the more northerly P-N cancel stages more often?

Yesterday being a case in point. I would've quite liked the ability to switch between the two. Ho hum.
