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

Confirmed on Tour of Britain website:
Both ITV4 and the BIKE Channel will screen the 2016 Tour of Britain LIVE, with three-hours of coverage of each stage of the race.
So, if you don't like ITV's commentary you can listen to Bike's if that is available to you. I saw a few races earlier in the year and commentary was fine.

Bike's commentary on some races was by Ned, so are we sure they have different commentators?

Is it possible to commentate on two channels at the same time?
''Hey Ned, where you off to now?" - "problem with the water works, back in a minute"

I think that Magnus Backstedt was one of the commentators

I seem to remember an alliteratively-named team that used to commentate for ITV, NBC, SBS and a few others simultaneously. At least two UK channels would be under the same broadcast regulations so could have the ad breaks in sync.

Confirmed on EPG. British Eurosport only and their scheduling may be another matter.

Seems also to an hour long highlights(?) program at 11am each day repeated 5am the following day - in other words whilst stage 2 is on live at present (best watched with the sound down IMO) stage 1 will be shown at 5am tomorrow and then stage 2 at 11am if anyone wants to PVR the highlights.

 

[Mike_P]

Also the Vuelta a Burgos has highlights(?)
- 75 mins long after the live Tour of Utah
- 55 mins long at 0905
- 30 mins long at 1330

Did anyone watch Wiggo's Road to Rio - I forgot, but it's repeated on Monday - Is it worth watching?

With 3 days to go, the BBC's cycling coverage page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cycling/16233229 just says 'details of cycling coverage will appear here'.

Hope it appears soon.
