SBS cycling coverage in May

[HAKS]

Great to hear that every stage of the Tour of California will be live on SBS2 and they are also having Mon-Fri 8.30pm highlights packages from the Giro and extended Giro coverage on weekends.

Well done SBS(2)

[JB]

i just hope "LIVE" does not mean as did to us in WA last night

[HAKS]

Considering tour of cali live means something like 7am AEST to middayish you prob be right

[MichaelB]

oops.

[williamsf1]

so why does SBS start the giro coverage with stage 2????

[Brockie]

Eurosport on Foxtel showing all stages of Giro live including stage1. Just hope Sean Kelly isn't commentating on this one or the idiot that was on SBS last year.

but what about SBS????

pay TV is going to die a slow death now anyhow!

would love to know why stage 1 isnt being shown....

Depends on the rights package that SBS has - I thought the coverage started on the 8th (which is when the race starts isn't it ?) according to my Tivo ?

Must check that tonight. At least I can record it easily now

Doesn't answer your question, but i did read SBS say the Giro is quite expensive hence limited coverage compared to other tours.

when are the highlights meant to be on??

usually 6pm but nothing in the Schedule or in the foxtel menu

edit: found stage 2 onwards on sbs2 at 8:30pm monday and 1 hour highlighs on sundays at 2pm

and sunday 9/5 12:00 pm Cycling: 13th Flech Wallone 12:30 pm Cycling: 96th Liege-Bastogne-Liege

aaaaaand Tour de Cali starting monday 17/5 at 7am

Even though sometimes it's only highlights or abbreviated packages, the coverage amount and variety has significantly improved over the last few years, so amen to that.

I am grateful for everything that comes along. Now that I can record it easily

[williamsf1]

yeah I have no problem with the quality of the coverage....

I just thought there was something odd with me that I could only find stage 2 onwards and not stage 1!!!!

my beyonwiz with ice tv lets me record from anywhere in the world.... soooo good!

bring on the GIRO!
