What TV channel will the Giro d'Italia be on this year?

[RSV_Ecosse]

Anyone know?.

Eurosport maybe?.

 

[roadiewill]

Will be Eurosport just been on their site trying to find their schedule for cycling coverage for the year to no avail. I know someone posted it here last year.

 

[RSV_Ecosse]

Excellent, cheers guys.

Will need to get onto my station rep and get our Sky package upgraded so we can get Eurosport this year. I'm guessing that "Le Tour" will also be on there this year?.

Really looking forward to the Giro this year, probably because of the obvious.....

 

[roadiewill]

Yeah the tours always on their, Im hoping this year without shaun kelly - please God please....

if not theres always highlights on ITV and BBC

Have got used to Sean now tactically he is fantastic its just that drawl. Graeme Jones did some commentating last year and was really really good tactically aware but a much more listenable voice, would like to see/hear him more involved this season.

In a usual year, Eurosport broadcast live coverage of most of the following races in the season:

Paris-Nice

Tirreno-Adriatico

Spring classics (Milano-Sanremo, Tour of Flanders, Gent-Wevelgem, Paris-Roubaix and Liège-Bastogne-Liège are almost always live, Amstel Gold and Flèche Wallonne are usually live but have been evening highlights on occasion)

Giro d'Italia

For the past three or so years the Dauphiné Libéré

Tour de France

Clásica de San Sebastián

Tour of Benelux

Tour of Poland

Vuelta a España

World Championships

Paris-Tours

Giro di Lombardia (sometimes only highlights)

any idea about this years? what channel is it on?

Eurosport. You can always find a computer feed here.

Been watching the highlights shown each day. You pickup some useful information from the commentary but in my opinion, the show is very poorly edited in comparison to ITV4's coverage of the TDF.

I believe that broadcast rights are established through until 2013, so we won't see any changes until then.

I wonder if Sky will outbid Eurosport for the next lot?!? Fortunately there are separate contracts for free-to-air and satellite, so we shouldn't need to worry about the terrestrial feed being lost.

live here in italian ...who cares.. http://videochat.gazzetta.it/index_giro.shtml

 

[raindog]

I'm on that one too.
Last climb of Etna is 6% average, can't see that being enough to get the big guns firing.

Giro live alternates between Eurosport 1 and 2, so check the on screen programme guide, although it does seem to be on their HD channel every day.
