No ES coverage of Omloop?

Will have to try Cyclingfans instead.

cycling.tv have it as well and while they are a bit pricey for what you get in terms of live coverage (at least for a UK subscriber), there are the archives as well. And the commentary is in English (which I prefer).

 

[Roude Leiw]

If I remember correctly Strade Bianci was live on ES last year, but i do not see it on this years schedule. Will it be somewhere besides dodgy streams?

I think it's the unspecified live cycling at 14.30 next sunday, the Paris-Nice prologue is on at 16.00 going by this http://tv.eurosport.co.uk/tvschedule.shtml

There's also supposed to be live cycling on saturday afternoon - is that Roma Maxima? I can't see anything else on. The tv guide just says (helpfully!) 'action from a cycling event'.

Robert Hatch has just tweeted that both Italian races are live next weekend.

Strade Bianche is Saturday, Roma Maxima is Sunday.

Strade Bianche is Saturday, Roma Maxima is Sunday.

ta, I'd made a note of them the wrong way round.

Possibly old news. But just saw an ad saying The Giro will be live on Eurosport

Don't know if it's old or new news, but I would have bought a ****ing pitchfork, if the decision had been different.

Who was the chap commentating with Brian Smith at the weekend.

He is almost as annoying in his pronunciation of teams and riders as that guy Mike Smith they used to have back at the studio in Paris.

Astannnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaa
A-she deuz air
Moosair

Now what was all that about. Is he a narrator of romantic novels or something?

Good moaning! Bon Jouree Rodney!

it's not old news.only thursday or so they signed the agreement
and the good news don't stop here
rcs races will have a lot more time on eurosport:
THREE HOURS for every giro d'italia stage...
and at least two hours for other races, tirreno, san remo, lombardia etc

eurosport,the home of cycling.



i hope though that in the future there will be mountain giro stages broadcast from start to finish like in le tour.

It's Rob Hatch, to be fair I like his consistent attempt to use the correct pronunciations, for example AG2R *is* "aah-jeh-deux-errr" rather than the anglified "eeh-gee-two-aar" used by Kirby and Harmon (or Hendon as they seem to be calling him this season?!).

Just a shame so few of them are live though at this point and Saturday's coverage of Strade Bianche was a mess, due to be on delayed for a 90 min broadcast but instead they came on 40 mins earlier than advertised and showed the last 40km live, but I'm sure I wasn't the only one to turn on at the advertised time only to see the last 20km. The highlights show then proceeded to show 40-35km then (I think) an edited version of the last 20 km again.

Because of the clash with Paris-Nice, only 4 out of the 7 Tirreno stages will be live. But as you say, there will be 2hrs of them.

 

[jens_attacks]

well the other tirreno stages will be live on eurosport 2

 

[argyllflyer]

As I said, 4 live, 3 not. There is live biathlon on and that means no live tirreno on those days. Paris-Nice is the one Eurosport are putting top priority so it stays live, tirreno goes delayed on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

ES 2 Livestream it is

ES 2 Livestream it is

Buy Eurosport-Player, it's worth it.

 

[RedheadDane]

Eurosport player is definitely worth it!

Does anyone know how to make the multiplex function work? Need some way to be able to watch both P-N and T-A.

 

[forkboy84]

Buy Eurosport-Player, it's worth it.

Oh yeah, I'd second that.

RedheadDane, the Multiplex feature is simple to lose. Just load up whatever live program you want, obviously on the right there's Multiplex. Click the down pointing arrow above the top of the 2 boxes, select the ES channel you don't have in the main box, & it'll load there. But small though. I figure I'll just watch Tirreno & then catch highlights of Paris-Nice in the evening.

 

[RedheadDane]

Eeeh... not sure I understand that explanation...

Just hoping there'd be some way I could quickly jump from one race to another, like with my remote.

Of course that way of watching might leave you a little confused!

Don't see how Eurosport Player solves the problem of Tirreno not being live at all for 3 of the stages - unless the website shows events live not shown on TV?

I used it in 2009 and I remember the Giro was live one hour or so before the TV. I know I bought it because I was tired watching all those Chupa Chups vs Humpa Lumpa matches in 1'st round of Roland Garos.

Damn, I didn't realise that Tirreno was getting shown delayed because of skiing over the weekend. That's a bummer

It's now live on Thursday (tomorrow) though!

 

[RedheadDane]

It is true that neither P-N nor T-A are gonna be live tomorrow?

What's this wickedness??
