Three of them show football (soccer) all the time, one focuses on auto racing and the last on American football. One of the ESPNs varies its football programming when there's a tennis Open, a golfing championship and the Tour de France.
The Tour de France is the third most-watched sporting event in the world; it's broadcast live each day when that day's stage has two hours of cycling left, then comes a half-hour recap at night.
Cycling's other races get no coverage on the sports channels that are available to us.
An Internet search quickly turned up results for live broadcasts, including free ones. A website called cyclingfans.com posted several to many links to websites which were showing the race live. The quality was really very nice! For my wobbly, so-called 'high-speed' connection, the quality was so nice, that the real offering from the broadcast channels must have been pretty exceptional.
I really appreciated the efforts of the folks behind the websites who are such devoted fans of the sport, for making this info easily available.
