The Piedmont stages of the Vuelta Espana 2025 are providing great emotions for fans, but for many, it's not so simple to enjoy the race, at least on television. There's a recurring question these days that many enthusiasts, and not only them, are asking: why is it not possible to see the images of the race on free-to-air TV?

The rights to broadcast the Spanish race are held by Eurosport, but, as the director Stagi told you a couple of days ago, the issue is hot and also involves RAI.

And it is precisely to the state television that the National Union of Mountain Communities and Entities (UNCEM) addresses, with a note: "It is ridiculous and serious that Rai does not follow and broadcast La Vuelta live, starting from Piedmont. Definitely a failure of the public service. The investments made by Italy and particularly Piedmont for the event would require an obvious television coverage, almost trivial to say. But it's not like that. We all lose out, Institutions, public, Cycling. It's serious that Rai is elsewhere" as reported in the note also by Torino Oggi and numerous other publications.

In short, if Philipsen's victories in Novara and Vingegaard's in Limone Piemonte have animated the lovers of our sport, it seems that the dispute over television images is also destined to continue to spark discussion.
