    Highlights on Sky Sports probably.
  • Eurosport have confirmed that they will be showing the Tour Of Qatar, although timings and wether it is live or a highlights package are yet to be confirmed. It is believed that as in 2008 and 2009 Sky will be showing the first race of the season, The Tour Down Under, across Sky Sports 2 and 3 with evening highlights packages on Sky Sports 4 (Formerly Sky Sports Extra).. Again, timings yet to be confirmed.

    Woah there. Hold your horses. The Tour Down Under is the only cycling that Sky Sports show all year round, and even then it's only 30 minutes per day - which, if you don't count the intros, interviews, commercial breaks and product placements for some vineyard or beach resort or something, actually amounts to about 15 minutes of badly edited cycling footage. You could probably see more on Youtube.

    Chance would be a fine thing. Going by previous editions, it's likely to be a collection of bunch sprints and so each stage could be compressed into a 90 second package, including 45 seconds' footage of Armstrong.
