I haven't found Bein sports cycling schedule for 2015 yet.

yeah, bein doesn't ever update their schedule until like three days before, so who knows what they'll show this year. i assume they still have all the italian races and the tour of flanders, hopefully they'll stream whatever they can't show live.

it's weird that universal has tour de suisse this year, which was on bein the last two years along with tour de romandie. i wonder if they bought the rights to the swiss races. that would really suck if romandie isn't shown anywhere.

 

[Carols]

Universal no longer has Basque Country or Catalunya But they picked up TDU which I've seen live every day so far and Suisse.

Disappointing schedule on NBCSports but they have been dropping coverage and pushing delayed coverage to off hours for the last few years.

Hopefully bein comes through with Strade Bianchi, T-A, Flanders, etc. and of course the Giro. But they will make us sweat it out until the final minutes .

Big Sigh!

With NBC having so much live EPL, maybe the can't find room for P-R on broadcast TV. I'm hoping they will have a live stream.

If you go on your computer you can watch everything free.

PR and LBL will be streamed live It was on the updated schedule put out yesterday.

Well that assumes one is available for live streaming and can tolerate crappy pirated steams, often in foreign languages. I prefer to record on the dvr and watch when I am available without knowing the result. Or a nice paid for stream that is much more reliable and in English.

Good catch. I modified the OP to keep it up to date.

 

[Carols]

Qatar is on beIN, it started on day 2. I thought it was live but is really about 15 minutes behind live; go figure!

 

[Carols]

For those with Universal Sports: Universal is showing Ruta del Sol live streaming on their website. With no commentary LOL! But it's a good picture, with No Commercials, and I have Eurosport sound going.

It will be shown on TV next week. If there are good stages they can be kept on the dvr for future viewing .

Strade Bianchi is being shown live on beIN connect streaming as is every stage of T-A. http://www.beinsportsconnect.tv/

I cannot find any TV listings for either yet. Hopefully they carry T-A on tv so the dvr can catch it for me as I will be away and I mean away.....no cell, no internet

Do you know if beIN connect is available for dishworld subscribers?

THANK YOU for the info

Great to know of alternatives to TV broadcasts and dodgy pirate feeds. Verizon's TV schedule shows only 30min SB highlights show at 10pm Sat. It made me assume they'd slash T-A coverage to 30min highlights like last year. Sooooo, Froome, Contador, Nibali, Quintana, and Italy for 30 min a day - less commercials. Words fail me......

****RANT****

I WISH beIN would sell their rights since cycling is such a low priority for them. Last season they and Carlton Kirby pretty much ruined the Giro for me.
I've noticed UniversalSports' commentary for K-B-K and Andalucia really hammered 'Tactics 101' like never before, so I hope they're trying to (re)build a US audience and maybe things will improve - maybe, but after all it is cycling.

Sorry I have no idea. You need to login via your provider login, so see if you can login.

Yes the stream is usually great when on a subscriber feed instead of a pirated one .

I did finally find the 30 min SB in the TV schedule, 1AM Sunday my time. But that is what dvrs are for .

Fingers crossed they have at least the daily recap show on T-A as I will out in desert country with no communications options!

Between NBCSports showing P-N in the middle of the night and beIN cutting back on their coverage it is pretty bleak as you well know.

Universal is definitely the best except for no HD. Yes I'd be very happy if they got the Giro back. But the Giro live on beIN beats no Giro at all!

Le Samyn is on Universal Sports tomorrow from 9:30 to 11:00 am EST.

Yeah they have lost (RCS) or dropped(?) most of their good races and instead we get this stuff. Just saying....

Not a particularly prestigious race, but it was still quite entertaining, at least for the last 13 km or so.

I just finished watching the final 20km, darned entertaining! Thanks Universal

 

[zlev11]

Bein is showing T-A live on the 11th and 12th, the schedule doesn't seem to be updated past that, though

they're also showing 2 hours of Strade Bianche at 8am on the 9th

 

[ILovecycling]

Is streaming seriously illegal in US?

Great news . They always wait until the last minute and make us sweat!

Yeah the race is on the 7th LOL! Still if it is a good race I will keep it on my dvr for rewatching.

Thanks for the updates!

 

[Carols]

Is streaming seriously illegal in US?

Not at all, as long as you're a subscriber of the station streaming. Or the station is broadcasting it without charge. Watching pay broadcasts on illegal streams is though.

We Can't pay for Eurosport, etc. here. I'd gladly do it if they provided coverage here.

 

[Carols]

P-N streaming live at http://stream.nbcsports.com/ now. Great picture and sound.

Yesterday SB on beIN connect was awesome. 2:30 without a single drop out or commercial!
