strade bianchie tv coverage

Anyone know if full race is on TV. Only seem to find highlights on eurosport/bike tv

Is bike Tv available on Virgin. I checked channel 552 and also went through all the stations and can't find it.

I have the full Virgin package, other than the Sky channels.

Saturday's Strade Bianche (or Montepaschi Strade Bianche as it was or Strade Bianche Eroica Pro as it now is.... ) departs San Gimignano at 10:30am CET (9:30am GMT) and is expected at the finish in Siena at around 3:30pm CET (2:30pm GMT). Live video is expected from around 1:00pm GMT, so only about the last 90 minutes or so, and it is scheduled to finish quite early in the day - around 2:30pm.

ES are still only indicating that they will show 45 minutes of highlights at 4:30m but given how badly their schedules can slip, who know....? A bit of rain would mix things up nicely, but lets hope there is no repeat of the very strong winds of last years race.

It will be on RAI sport in Italy, but looks like it may be necessary to find a live stream online.

Tomorrow also see the inaugural edition of the Strade Bianche Women. Their route begins and ends in the same place as the men’s race, with the peloton departing San Gimignano at 9am CET (8 GMT) and finishing in Piazza del Campo in Siena. Its a 103-kilometre course with five sectors, totalling 17 kilometres, of dirt roads. I very much doubt that any of it will be shown, which is a pity.

Great last few km. Well worth watching the very short Eurosports highlights.

I think midnight, on day of race, is the limit. so yes,

Delighted that Cancellara won.

To me, it looked like Stybar miscalculated the finish somewhat. When they were approaching the summit with a couple of hundred metres to go, Stybar looked the stronger of the two, and seemed like he was waiting for the right momemt to pass Cancellara. But the downhill finish, along with the narrow street, there wasn't a chance to get past. That's just my thoughts though.

Gutted for Brambilla though, so close!

That's my take on it too. I think Stybar was a little unsure what to do with Brambilla still a little ahead and he sat on Cancellara's wheel just a second too long. He couldn't get past through the last couple of turns but I think he might have had he attacked earlier.
