Yes, when I first looked at this channel I admit to thinking it a bit naff, but there has been some interesting stuff on it, and now the live races, excellent resource.

In a week crammed to the gunwales with live pro cycling, Eurosport is showing Tour of Catalunya all this week, E3 Harelbeke on Friday and the Criterium International on Sat and Sun. All this in addition to the offerings on Bike channel mentioned above. Get me coolant for the Sky+ box!

Having moved at the end of last year I haven't yet missed cycling on tv

But now I'm dealing I'm struggling to get cycling.

I don't have sky or virgin, I have free time free view and now tv
So I have sky sports and itv but not Eurosport, any suggestions of best channels or how to get Eurosport please

Edit, just read some messages and links, I guess these have foreign language commentary? Do people use the radio for English commentary?

http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/camping-and-caravanning-satellite-suitcase-system-a60gy or B&Q often have similar. Point at 19°E satellite orbit for Eurosport in German, 13 for RAI in Italian, 28 for Bike Channel in English or 5°W for France Televisions in, err, French.

Cycling commentary isn't the most complicated vocabulary, it doesn't matter too much if you can't understand any, and Eurosport on screen captions are often in English anyway.

Bike Channel have the Scheldt Prize tomorrow from 2.20pm http://www.bikechannel.co.uk/programmes/scheldeprijs/ (the schedule says Commentary by Gianluca Giardini and Paolo Savoldelli but I bet it won't be) and the Brabant Arrow at 2pm next Wednesday. http://www.bikechannel.co.uk/programmes/brabantse-pijl/ Lots of highlights repeats of both.

Starting 19th April, they have the Giro del Trentino live every day. Starting 26th April, the Tour of Romandie live and Tour of Turkey highlights.

There's also a Giro 2015 highlights show, which makes me wonder if the Giro might finally have some UK-targetted free-sat coverage (maybe highlights?), some years after reportedly asking itv4 to pay more for the Giro than they did for le Tour... but the current website schedule runs out before the Giro starts.

De Brabantse Pijl (or La Flèche Brabançonne if you're that way inclined) was on Bike Channel this afternoon. No doubt there will be a highlights package in the coming hours/days.

S4C will be showing live Liege-Bastogne-Liege on Sunday if you like your cycling commentary all Welsh, like. It was rumoured they would also be showing Flèche Wallonne on Weds but it doesn't appear in the listings.
