:evil: So.....i can't bE the only one here who is completeley and utterly miffed with the shambles that has become Pro cycling coverage on Eurosport? yet again today we had to endure hour's of Superbike, at the expense of the promised and advertised coverage from the Tour of Flanders!! :evil:

To then top this, when they did show the last 18km (not live!) They showed the lead up to the Muur (about 3km) and then Fast Forwarded past the Bosberg to the last 5km!!!! So all in all we got about 25 mins coverage. Its not on is it?

What is going on, Devolder put in one of the classiest rides in years and its gone by us ...AGAIN!!!! :evil: EUROSPORT...SORT IT OUT NOW!!!!! Do not mess up the coverage of the other monuments PLEASE!!! :evil:

I don't understand the attraction of watching jumped up chavs on supergaybikes going around a track.

Cycling is a sport, motorsport is ....well.... a motorsport and why do they need to do it in cars and on motorbikes?

Eurosport is so full of trash and rubbish, so why when they've got the TV rights to cycling why don't they show it? A few weeks ago they showed hours and hours of the crap that is "World Ice Skate Dancing Championship" (or whatever else they call that crock of shyte), so why can't they show the whole of one of the biggest races of the year?

I wouldn't even mind if the coverage was not live. If it ran 1 -2 hrs later or even that evening (not at 11.15pm when all cyclists are probably trying to get sleep for training/racing) . As long as the coverage was good with no jumps forward at important stages of the race.

Does anybody know of a contact we could all e-mail at Eurosport to get our point across?

I agree that Eurosport screen some real nonesense - curling, anyone? However, I was able to watch the whole Tour of Flanders, free, in Hong Kong, via live feed on the Eurosport internet page - praise the Lord for broadband. Throw away your television...
