British Eurosport has announced its schedule of coverage for the 2008 Giro d"Italia, which starts this Saturday (May 10).
The channel's coverage consists of daily live action for each stage in the afternoon, with additional highlights programmes in the evening.
David Harmon will be the man in the commentary box, aided by former pro rider Sean Kelly.
Full details of the key stages of this year's race can be found in the comprehensive Cycling Weekly Giro d'Italia 2008 preview. We've also stuck our neck out and predicted who might win. Watch out for the six British riders taking part in this year's race too, we won't rule out a Brit stage win along the way.
British Eurosport is available on Sky (Channel 410) and Virgin Media (Channel 521). Also available on Top Up TV (Channel 33) from 7:30am to 11:00am.
British Eurosport 2 is available on Sky (Channel 411) and Virgin Media (Channel 525).
Schedule may be subject to change, and we'll do our best to keep it up to date, but don't blame us.
