Anyone planning to watch the Vuelta a Espana bicycle race? It is being shown on the Universal Sports network. The first stage of the race is tomorrow (August 29).

Exactly what time it will be shown is in question. My Tivo schedule says it will be shown at 9am (Pacific time) and repeated 4 times later in the day. However, the Universal Sports web site says it will be shown at 4pm (Eastern time) and repeated only once at 11pm: http://www.universalsports.com/EPG/tv.dbml

I'm going to record both times just to be safe.

The Universal Sports Web Site now shows the race coverage at 9:00am Pacific for two hours, repeating at 3, 5, 7 and 10pm (which seems to match the times shown on my TiVo)

The Universal Sports site now shows it at 12, 3, 5 and 7 EDT. However, I notice that the TiVo version of the Universal Sports schedule has not been updated after this Sunday. My Cycling Season Pass shows nothing after Sunday despite the fact that Universal Sports claims they will be showing the race every day at noon EDT.
