I'll post more details a bit later, but from channel-hopping, the headline channels are: France 2 (5w), Eurosport (19e), itv4 (28e), RAI Tre and RAI Sport (13e). http://cyclingfans.net/satellite/2011/tour-de-france-2011 The Tour de Suisse is visible on live TV, but it's not the comfortable Eurosport/RAI combo from the last couple of weeks. No, for this race, you need to find the channel Sport1 (19e) from 18:45 Sat, 17:00 Sun, 16:30 Mon, Fri and next Sun, 17:30 Tue-Thu and 17:45 next Sat. ... http://cyclingfans.net/satellite/2011/tour-de-suisse-2 Sunday 5 June sees the start of the 2011 Criterium du Dauphine, one of the traditional warm-ups for the Tour de France, but who will be taking it easy and who will really be competing?
