Sir Bradley Wiggins exits bus at start of Tour de Yorkshire 2015 (picture Simon Wilkinson, SWPix)Where to watch Sir Bradley Wiggins take on cycling's UCI Hour Record on Sunday
Sir Bradley Wiggins is taking aim at one of cycling’s most prestigious records on Sunday evening – the Hour, currently held by another ex-Team Sky rider, Movistar’s Alex Dowsett. If you’re not lucky enough to be at the Lee Valley VeloPark, here’s details of where you can watch it – including for free.
In the UK, Sky will be covering Wiggins’ attempt to beat the 52.937km set by Dowsett last month in Manchester, and there are five ways to watch it – including through Freeview and YouTube, meaning you don’t even need a Sky subscription.
The programme lasts 2 hours, starting at 6pm and finishing at 8pm, with the record attempt itself scheduled to start at 6.30pm.
Here’s where it will be shown:
TV
Sky Sports 2 HD
Freeview channel PICK (channel 11)
Online (all UK only live streams)
Skysports.com
Sky Sports App
Elsewhere in the world, fans across Europe and in the Asia-Pacific region will be able to watch on Eurosport, and the broadcaster has exclusive rights for France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Spain.
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

That's because Skys uTube channel has it for free.

Just looked at the UCI Youtube channel and the feed isn't available in this country. Need to find some way of watching the last few minutes as I'll be in work when the record is pushed to 56k.
Big luck brad. Now a fan after hearing you on DI D!
Pick is on channel 123 on VirginMedia
Not sure about radio coverage, would pretty dull in any case, 'so there goes Wiggins, left, straight, left, straight......
Pick is on channel 152 if you're on Sky TV.
Great to see it is on Freeview!
It'll be on PickTV on Virgin too. If you have the Virgin smartphone app you can watch live through that.
I don't know about pubs, but both Look Mum No Hands cafes in London will be showing it (Old St & Hackney)
I thought I had read somewhere that it would be on the SkySports youtube channel.
Pah!! Thought you were putting up a list of pubs with it on...
That would be more useful. For me anyway.
I know that the Rafé Capha/Capha Rafé/Rapha Capha in Manchester is showing it and they apparently sell booze.
I'm hoping that a local pub will stick it on in lieu of any other sport being on, especially if a sizeable group turn up.
Not sure about radio 5 but I know the cycling podcast chaps are doing a live broadcast - http://thecyclingpodcast.com/live-events . You could listen via smartphone as long as signal/data permits
Any radio coverage as I will be in a car?
Race radio coverage whilst I do the Gran Fondo Tour of Cambridgeshire??
If you're still riding the ToC at 6.30 I think you'll be sitting in the broom wagon.
