Race Coverage TV/SAT/Cable
Watching a music documentary DVR recording, [actually saw it FFWDing though commercials], a fixed bike race commercial. Yup, AXSTV is airing the Little 500 Womens and Mens Fri & Sat 4/24-5th.
And then NBCSP is airing Liege-Bastogne-Liege 4/30

These are the results I'm seeing for NBCSN:
Cycling (La Flèche Wallonne: Thu, Apr 30, 11:30 PM)
Cycling (Liège-Bastogne-Liège: Fri, May 1, 12:30 AM)
Notice they are one right after the other.
If you plan to record them make it run at least a half hour long, depending on your device. The post-season hockey coverage usually runs over and I doubt they are going to cut the auto racing.
I don't know where the service gets these "First Aired" dates. They are not on NBC broadcast.
Cycling : La Flèche Wallonne
(First Aired: April 22, 2015)
The riders compete three laps of a tough circuit including the steep Mur de Huy (The wall of Huy) climb. From Wallonia, Belgium.

YouTube
NBCSN is showing fewer races this spring and most of them are shown a few days latger via tape delay. I wanted to watch the Tour of Flanders but there was no TV coverage. I checked out YouTube and found Eurosport coverage on the same day of the race. I can watch it in HD on my TV via my Roku box. Love it.
Check out the CyclingHub Channel.

NBC is covering some of these races live-ie LBL on 4/29, via their streaming service NBC Sports Extra. Its free if you have NBC Sports on cable. And the best part is its commercial free. I watched Paris-Roubaix that way on the projector in the mancave. Its still Phil and Paul (I have to admit that watching the other classics on Eurosport gave me a taste for Sean Kelly) but the lack of commercials is refreshing.
That's where the "first aired" date comes from.

More Channels
BTW, aside from NBC Sport, check your cable/satellite listings for Universal Sports and BEINsports
They are actually showing a ton of bike races this year, actually allot more then previous years.
I just set my DVR to capture "cycling" and I caught a bunch of races then I didn't even know were on.

Well, Womens race finished under yellow. Sheit happens and all, but waiting 100 laps for a sprint to watch... And it never does kinda sucks. but that's racing rules.
Men's postponed due to lightning/rain storms. So they are airing the 2014 men's race as the backup programing.
