Thanks ny biker. I look for this list every year :)

Thanks NYB! Looks like I'm in for some late nights.

Thanks for this! After years without cable of any kind, I got a really good deal from AT&T Uverse so will finally be able to watch some of this :) Considering my early rising time I will need to record most of it.

Thanks!

Heh, I'll be watching the Tour and the Vuelta on European TV this summer. Whoo!

Way to go tulip!!

We just ditched our cable, so we'll explore the other possibilities.

I've never had cable and I've always watched the Tour (well, since 1986), so there are ways.

I tried the streaming options last year but they either didn't work for me (at all), or were only when I was in the office or sleeping :( Hopefully others will have better luck this year than I did!

Some of the live video feeds are restricted geographically, and others, well, they're live from the location they're being broadcast -- I've been known to get up at the weee hours to catch the live feed of a European race. So it goes.

[jobob]

By the way, if you do follow a link to a live video feed, odds are good a popup will appear blocking the video feed which says something along the lines of "Your computer system needs such & such to play this feed" -- don't click on that. Instead, after about 10 seconds you'll see a teeny-tiny x appear in one corner of the popup screen, usually one of the upper corners. Click on that tiny x and the popup will go away. Hopefully.

I know this is far from ideal, I'm just pointing out what's available.

We got to see one of the Belgian spring classics last Sunday, the Omloop Het Volk I think it was called. It was on a cable station called SN1, which I suppose stands for Sports News 1 or Sports Network 1.

That link is no longer taking me to the schedule, and I can't find the schedule on their website, even searching "cycling schedule". Any tips?

[ny biker]

It still works for me (as much as any link is working right now -- since I set up a router a few days ago I have intermittent problems connecting to anything, and it's really bad right now).

If you can get to the nbcsports site, at the top is a yellow bar with different sports. Under "More," select "Cycling." On the cycling home page there is a link to the schedule on the upper right part of the page.
