Watching Milan - San Remo

[md2020]

Anyone know where to tune into Milan-San Remo in the US?

http://www.cyclingfans.com just announced http://www.cycling.tv will have Milano San Remo.

Also, cycling fans will other options: streaming video, streaming audio and tickers from various feeds.

The one thing I didn't see is what package will Milano San Remo be part of? Or, will it be on it's own? If so, will there be a charge or will it be free?

I need to dig a little.

I couldn't have said it better myself

I am sure you will be able to pick up live stream (maybe with Italian commentary - which of course adds to the romance!) through cycling fans site

The race is on Cycling TV but you need a premium package or you might be able to get it with a GIRO package

Hope this helps

cycling.tv is a good site.

I'm also going to try: http://www.steephill.tv/classics/milan-san-remo/

Thanks for all the suggestions. I haven't had much luck with a lot of those live streams in the past so I'm hoping someone in Europe will record it and put it on a torrent site.

Check out the other thread - Cycling online tv links - some of these will work in the US - they have in the past - you may need to brush up on your Italian!

Close the race, just google "Rai 3 stream" and you should find something, or try http://www.cyclingfans.com

Yeah, try all the links on cyclingfans.com. They seem inconsistent, at least for me... last week for T-A, one day the Rai and Rai 3 streams didn't work but the Gazetta one did, the next day it was the reverse. Just try 'em all and hopefully you'll have some luck.

...or buy a cycling tv package - I think it's great value - and Magnus and his mate are quite amusing - At least they know what they are talking about and Magnus generally has some useful insight into the way the race is unfolding- even though they do try and sell you their coffee! Have fun.

I love MSR. This is going to be the year that Dave Bruylandts finally escapes on the Poggio and stays away to the line.

Word of warning with cyclingTV. You don't always get what you pay for.
Check out reviews on the net before you decide to jump in. I had the
premium subscription but didn't renew. Too many problems that need to
be ironed out before I'll renew. Again check reviews on the net.

agree that
cyclingfans http://www.cyclingfans.com/
and
steephilltv http://www.steephill.tv/

are essential links for free race coverage via the net.

rtbf? Not live on the sat station. Maybe.....
They are showing the E 3, from 14-30CET, next Saturday,(27th)
but look like they aren't covering the Brabantse Pijl on Sunday.
A first.
(Lance won this race once!)

ON saturday RAI 3 will broadcast the Primavera from 14:50 local Italian time.

a link for livestream will be here: http://cyclingflix.com/video/index.php/Live-cycling-streaming.html

I second the warning on cycling.tv. A worthwhile service for those of us in North America who can't always catch races live because they're early in the AM, but they've got some bugs.

If you look at their schedule, a number of races are 'TBC' - to be confirmed, such as Pais Vasco, Eneco, Plouay... not major ones, but still, they pulled the 'TBC' on Tirreno-Adriatico and said at the start of the week 'okay we're not showing it'. Also, last year they advertised full coverage of the Giro but then didn't broadcast Sunday stages because VS. had the rights in the US (which didn't help us Canadians any). And the Tour is right out of the question.

Also, their customer service is the worst I've ever seen with any company I've had anything to do with, in my life. I am not exaggerating.

But it is quite extensive, year-round coverage, and for cycling junkies it's worthwhile enough.

While it is true cycling.tv will have Milano San Remo this Saturday, they are only offering it in the Gold North America and Giro packages. It is not offered on the Premium channel which, of course, I subscribe to.

I mean, why get the Giro package?? You can watch it for free from RAI - a great video feed, too.

Check cycling.tv for details, if interested.
