Want to watch some cycling over Christmas? Eurosport's got your back
If you want to settle down with your family and watch cycling highlights over Christmas, then you're in luck - there's plenty on, and here's where to watch them
The new cycling season is so close, but at the same time it's never felt so far away. The Tour de France is but a distant memory and you're starting to question if they even held a Tour of Flanders this year, so fuzzy are your recollections of it.
Christmas is usually the season for spending quality time with your family, overindulging on food and drink and watching endless re-runs of Mrs Brown's Boys. But it doesn't have to be like that! At least, you don't have to watch Mrs Brown's Boys - the rest of it can stay.
The good schedulers at Eurosport have us cycling fans in mind at this time of year and are treating us to a whole load of programming over the Christmas period, bringing highlights of the biggest and best races of the year right to your tellybox.
We've scoured the schedules and sifted the cycling gold from the Alpine skiing and relentless biathlon coverage and compiled this handy list of where you can get your cycling fix.
