Eurosport
Is it worth getting sky just so I can watch the cycling on Europsort?
And do they ever show triathlons on there?

I have sky but will be ditching it soon - in reality it's waste of money imho. I ditched it last year but was tempted back mainly so I could watch rugby over winter but I am going to ditch it again when the season has finally finished
you can follow a lot of sport live on the internet for no extra cost
don't think you see any cycling on the internet though.
The cheapest I've been quoted is £18.50 per month.
Just don't want to miss Tour de France or the Giro.
Eurosport does show most of the classics and tours but I have only occasionally seen Triathlons on it, Iron man Hawaii springs to mind.
The Biathlons and crosscountry skiing in the winter are good viewing
Oh I get mine through Virgin Media and there are some goddish deals
Tried Virgin but they don't have cable down here in Devon yet, lol!
Yeah FB, highlights are good. Maybe I should just forget about the Giro then.
What a shame *sobs into cycling jersey*
I have eurosport on Virgin but never remember to look for things to watch on it. Eurosport isn't on freesat or whatever is it ?
I think that the TdF is being shown in Hi Def this year on Eurosport.
I've not got a HiDef tv - but this could swing it for me. Well that and the Attenborough nature programmes really.
You can subscribe to cycling.tv on the net - but thats not as good as tv I reckon.
ES may be on freeview - thats worth a look ?
that looks good and certainly loads cheaper!!!
Cougie, I'm on freesat at the mo and they don't have ES
You can get most of the big races for free including the grand tours on the internet if you know where to look - which just means looking on Bike Radar forum for the threads where people ask where they can see a live feed for whatever race.
The quality is a bit variable though - and the commentary isn't always English - so unless it's a really key stage/race you probably wouldn't want to bother. I do pay out for Eurosport - their cycling coverage is getting much better - this year most of the classics were on for a couple of hours plus and they also have stage races like Tour of Turkey, California, Paris Nice, Dauphine etc plus some little races and every stage of the three Grand Tours. And you get the UK Premier Calendar repeated about a dozen times each race.
Cougie - Which channel is Rutland-Melton showing on.
I got out to the course early on Sunday morning and the gated road over the "Somerberg" was open, so it would have been rude not to have cycled over it, wouldn't it?
(BTW, I found that having rode both, the Somerberg is quite tame in comparison to Wallers-Arenberg).
Arctic Lady - Here's the start list for Rutland-Melton.
Thanks mr. Bump.
V cool, there is a team called Arctic-Premier Racing, looks like I'll have to support them!!!
Actually, we pick up continental Eurosport for free off our digital antenna, it has really great sports coverage and a choice of languages, we programmed ours to the English commentary because in all honesty the German commentary really sucks!
Anybody with a mac that knows how to sort out Eurosport on it?
I know I need to install the firefox plugin which I'm sure I've done. But when I go to the eurosport test video it still doesn't play.
Please help...am getting desperate not watching the Giro!!!!
