    Growing tired of paying for eurosport HD and getting poxy skating and such.
    When are we likely to see some pelethon action broadcast again?

    I see the tour down under is starting soon but can't see if it'll be on eurosport or not.

    Milan san remo is the first monument, it's on mid march. I remember seeing the TDU on telly last year but can't remember which channel.

    The cobbled classics start in late February, great to watch. Highlight of the year for some. Omloop het Nieuwsblad is first iirc

    TDU was on Sky last year

    World Tour Calendar here

    Then there's the likes of the Tour of Qatar which tends to get coverage

    Didn't enjoy Qatar or Oman at all last year, won't be watching this year. Tour down under is alright though, especially with deignan riding it. Sky do a pretty good job with their coverage
