Found this by chance.

I get Eurosport through Virgin and this was on channel 552 or 554 they show some races that Eurosport don't including Gent Wevelgem, Scheldeprijs and Tour of Romandie.

There's other stuff as well as racing.

    Pity they don't do HD. Makes it look like the 80s.
  • Anyone found a way to watch Bike Channel TV via free streaming? I'd like to test the link..

    Every time I switch it on its either Triathlon or a program about great climbs that never actually seems to show the climbs...

    You've watched at the same times I have then. Never really sat down to watch it properly TBH.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    There does seem to be a limited amount of programming which is repeated. But if you like watching road racing as I said it does show some races Eurosport doesn't.
    This week I watched Scheldeprijs next week they are showing Branbantse Pilj and from the 26th April they will be showing the Tour of Romandie. As far as I now all these will be shown live.

    Yes a lot of repeats. Although they are showing quite a few races which Eurosport don't have. Great climbs is ok to watch but all the mountains are in Italy. Limited programmes and the schedule is filled with triathlon and ultra walking/marathons etc.
    At least there is a dedicated bike channel which is a good step in the right direction.
