What are my options for watching pro cycling at home? What cable providers show it? I know there is cycling.tv , any one have experience with that?

We get NBC Sports channel. They are showing Flanders love this Sunday. Only cable channel I am aware of that carries cycling. Other options mentioned above for streaming over the interweb. Live feeds out of Sporza or Rai.

Are there english language streams that don't require a subscription?

I think Flanders and P-R are live for the first time ever on U.S. television. Pretty cool. Unfortunately, it seems they've dropped a few races that they covered as VS, although that was often a week of racing condensed into one hour.

I listened to a couple of the Speed Metal Cycling podcasts, and it sounded like a bunch of those guys download coverage from torrent sites.

I've watched universal sports and it was fine.

Some cable/satellite providers offer French/Italian/Spanish channels as add-on packages; you might get access to France2 or RAI sport, which would have the major races. Bonus chance to brush up on your Romance languages!

Other than that, Universal Sports is really the only option I'm aware of on TV.

As mentioned, Cyclingfans.com is a good source of live streams. Hopefully the next generation Apple TV will enable a better way to stream all video directly on to the TV; not just iTunes-enabled content.

They have live feeds for pretty much every race... not all are in english, but nothing beats watching a flemish classic in a foreign language!

NBC Sports is doing Flanders LIVE this weekend! So thats pretty cool...

cyclingfans is great if you have an ipad or other tablet, or can stream to your tv... i like being around the house wathinc on my tablet on sunday mornings...

I paid $29 for races through the Giro on Universal sports. I hook my laptop to my tv in the garage for riding,
