Int. Österreich-Rundfahrt-Tour of Austria - June 30 to 8th

Someone said there was no live coverage but highlights. Who is broadcasting?

The only issue with Kitzbuhler Horn is that it has to be earlier in the week, because they host a World Cup Triathlon in the second weekend.

The stage to Kitzbüheler Horn has always been on the first Monday in the past 5-6 years.
The ITU Tri usually is mid July and never was an issue regarding Ö-Tour time table.

Austrian National Broadcaster ORF1 and partly their sub-channel ORF SPORT+
(highlights of around 20 min. a day):
You can check the time table here (only in German) - simply select the day and scroll down to the evening:

There is no regular official livestreaming, but one of the usual web tv-channels may take over the signal.

Almost certainly yes to both.

Austria's Alpe. Brutal climb:

Going with Dombrowski FTW here.

They are only going to 1600m, though

The ITU Triathlon this year is July 6th, which is probably why the Kitzbuheler Horn stage is so early in the week.

Bummer to hear about the coverage and funding issues. I saw the finish 2 years ago in Vienna, came home with water bottles and little packages of sausages from the publicity caravan

 

[roadbiker]

Yeah.
Without a big miracle, this year will definititely be the last edition of the race.

Is there a liveticker somewhere?

Stage 1 in progress....

After about 30km, gap 6 minutes or so:

Sky driving the peloton.

I think we are done until the Kühtai climb.

Stage scheduled to finish approx. 15:00 local (CEST).

It's Zoidl's to lose.

 

[roundabout]

Or not.

Should have really been in the Tour even if the field is not great

Good to see Dombrowski confirming his climbing talent once again.

Seeldraeyers letting the legs do the talking after being dropped from the Tour squad. Nice.

Go Zoidl!

Dombrowski is going to have a good season next year. He's been getting better and better as the season goes on. There is definitely a learning curve at the ProTour level.

 

[Le breton]

WHAT?
Vandelli is not in the race?
