Apologies if covered elsewhere, but what's happened to it? Keeping an eye out for TV coverage, nothing so far?

    First round is this weekend, with the 3 day Tour Doon Hame....

    Stage 1: Matt Cronshaw of Raleigh
    Stage 2: Jonny McEvoy of Motorpoint

    Cronshaw is still in yellow....final stage tomorrow. TV highlights will be shown sometime soon on Eurosport I believe.

    Cheers.

    No TV coverage imminent according to Sky schedules, but wil keep an eye out. Bloody Snooker hogging the show at the moment.

    there was a bit of a row between bc and the organisers of rutland which is why that wasn't on tv, i think they wanted 6 grand or something for tv rights which is a great shame as it is probably the best UK race to watch

    Just checked my Sky planner the Premier Calendar, Tour Doon Hame, is on Sky sports 2 next Wednesday at 10:30am. It seems Sky has started taking cycling now.

    Coverage a week late, thats poor in my opinion...especially for Sky.

    Don't get me wrong, it's good to have it covered at all but if Sky really want to get good viewing figures for cycling they need to do better than that.

    that is probably just when there is no mainstream sports to show, look at the times its on hardly like they have aimed it to the masses, but i suppose it is only prems bit like the equivalent on league 2
