2009 Tour of Qatar:  Frederiek Nolf before Stage 3

- Today's stage was shortened (to just 40km) and neutralized following the tragic death overnight, in his sleep, of young rider Frederiek Nolf (Team Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator).  "Cycling is in mourning when you lose such a young talent, a guy like him," said cycling legend Eddy Merckx, who is the technical sponsor for the team.  More here.  Our condolences to the family and friends of Frederiek.

 Notes:  (latest notes always appear at the top)

- Tour of Qatar live coverage of Stage 4 on Eurosport starts tomorrow at 12:30 CET (6:30am U.S. Eastern).  Looks like there will only be about 30 minutes of coverage as the stage is expected to end at around 13:00 CET (7am U.S. Eastern).  Our Stage 4 Race Guide and Stage 3 photos will be posted later tonight.  (Stage 2 photos are now available in our cycling photography section.)

- Again, today's Eurosport coverage of the Tour of Qatar Stage 3 is not listed as live; indeed, the 14:30 CET start time (16:30pm Doha time) for the coverage comes after the expected finish for the stage (approx. 15:48pm Doha time).  The Eurosport audio feeds should be playing though, so you can listen along "as live".  Tomorrow (Wednesday), live coverage should return for Stage 4, according to the Eurosport schedule.

- For Tour of Qatar (and cycling generally) via satellite info, check out our cycling via satellite blog by MJ Ray here.

- The Tour of Qatar Stage 3 starts at 12:45pm local time (10:45 CET or 4:45am U.S. Eastern).  Eurosport coverage of Stage 3 is scheduled to begin at 14:30 CET (8:30am U.S. Eastern).  Note that today's coverage is NOT live.  We continue to look for Tour of Qatar video highlights and clips.

UCI Cyclocross World Championships - U23 Men - LIVE

The Under 23 Men's Cyclo-cross World Championship is now LIVE on Sporza.

2009 Tour of California LIVE on Eurosport


Eurosport Headquarters, Paris (Issy-les-Moulineaux)
Copyright © Pete Geyer/www.cyclingfans.com

Paris (cyclingfans.com) - Lance Armstrong's comeback continues to have a positive impact on broadcast coverage of pro road racing.

Following our announcement that Versus in the U.S. will be showing the 2009 Amgen Tour of California LIVE (including, for the first time, on weekdays), we can now announce that Eurosport will also have live coverage of the event which will be Armstrong's second race of the season (after the recently completed Tour Down Under).

Eurosport ads are announcing complete live coverage of the Tour of California from February 14-22, with broadcast start times from 23:00 CET (California is 9 hours behind Paris).

Eurosport headquarters in Paris confirmed to me via phone this afternoon that they will indeed have live coverage, though they would only confirm Stages 1 and 2 at this time.  But I think we're going to get the entire week.  Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, during a Skype internet phone call I had with them last week, Universal Sports (formerly WCSN) didn't sound like they would be showing the 2009 Tour of California.  Race organizer AEG is offering non-exclusive broadcast rights and Universal Sports, which will be putting more effort into its TV channel and less into internet streaming, felt the price was too high.

As announced previously, AEG and Tour de France organizer A.S.O. signed a deal last June that involves A.S.O. helping with international distribution of the Tour of California.  Armstrong's return may have sealed the deal on live coverage.

Finally, I have also confirmed that there will once again be Tour of California live streaming video for those who want or need to watch via the internet.

UCI Cyclocross World Cup - Milan - LIVE

Update:  Race is playing on cycling.tv (UCI subscription) and on Sporza here (heavy buffering).

UCI Cyclocross World Cup - Milan -  LIVE today on cycling.tv.

Today's race in Milan is the 9th and last leg of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup.  Mathematically, Belgian national champion Sven Nys has the World Cup wrapped up given his 88-point lead over Bart Wellens and the fact that a victory today will bring the winner 80 points.  So most everyone is likely already looking ahead to next Sunday's (February 1) Cyclo-cross World Championships in Hoogerheide, The Netherlands.

As an indication of the place Sven Nys now holds in the Belgium sports world, consider this:  He recently was selected Belgian sportsman of the year, winning head of, among others, 2008 Tour of Flanders winner and Belgian national road race champion Stijn Devolder.  With this season's Cyclo-cross World Cup already wrapped up, he will be thinking ahead to next week's World Championships for sure.

You'll find more information about this event hereStart list here.

This event should also be available in some markets on Sporza.

Race should stream live on Sporza here.

Also check: Sporza here (QuickTime) and here (Real Player).

Other possibilities include Sporza (QuickTime) and Sporza (Real Player).

Expected start time:  Around 14:55 CET (8:55am U.S. Eastern)
