I think you'll find there aren't many races that I, or somebody else won't know where to find pictures. However, without a European dish, few will be shown free in the UK.
British Eurosport is your sole, unreliable source of road racing and is only available on a Sky package.
A good source of free feeds on here is http://www.cyclingfans.com/ They have a lot of links to many of the Spanish and Belgian races.
Also, cycling.tv will have a substantial number of free, live race coverage at up to 400kbs......
....watch this space, closer to season's start....

There's also the BBC's meagre offerings which mostly consist of the track. Shame none of the Revolutions was aired that surely would have made good TV (for those that like track cycling!)

Sorry about that, Sooty. I simply gave the name not the link. You can click on and access now, as Monty says.  |

Channel M are covering all the Revolutions now on sports central, not great coverage but a start, and they have highlights of all last years, though I don't know which episodes they appear in.....

Do you mean English tv coverage of cycling? Surely you're not talking about Victoria Pendleton?
Try to be a positive influence, TT.

| Has anyone even seen any adverts on Eurosport touting their race coverage this spring? |

No not a thing
They ran a General "Pro mo" for February and just a glimse of a bike race but no names.

I wonder if last year was the peak, with a relative build up of coverage before the start of the TdF in London.
KellyOCheery,
Doesn't OLN, or whatever they call it now, have cycling coverage? |

I expect Eurosports coverage to be pretty extensive, much like last year, starting, as I've said, with Paris-Nice.
However, for the first time in recent history, I can find little on their intensions, or that of others. Cycling4all always posted the entire season's viewing, but it's sadly shut down. I'm yet to find a similar source... |

There's no mention of cycling on ES's February promo hype, so I guess we'll have to wait until March.

Not on in the UK, but for those of us with RAITRE:-
Tomorrow 16:35Ciclismo. Gran Premio Costa degli Etruschi.
So, the season final kicks off on tv....somewhere!
Not sure what time it's on RaisportsSat, as I haven't yet checked.
