If the perfect weekend for you involves an early morning spin followed by an afternoon with your nose to the screen waiting for the rider with the race winning move to make it, then you'll want to know when and where you can watch cycling on TV.

Eurosport pretty much holds the keys to the vast majority of televised bike racing, but you can catch some of it on the BBC and ITV is home to the Tour de France, Tour of Britain and Women's Tour to name a few.

Big hitting Classics come thick and fast through April, providing plenty of entertainment for racing fans. The Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold Race, La Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège all boast inclusion in the UCI WorldTour and the UCI Women’s WorldTour. Additional WorldTour races for the men are Paris-Roubaix, Vuelta al País Vasco and the five day Tour de Romandie whilst women have the addition of the Tour of Chongming Island (26-28 April).
