**Welcome to the BLUE BUTTON, brought to you by Tiz Admin** **PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHAT IS TO BE USED FOR CYCLING AND SOCIAL TALK ONLY, NOT FOR QUERIES/COMPLAINTS REGARDING STREAMS AND OTHER SITE SERVICES. INSTEAD USE THE FAQS AND BLUE BUTTON FOR INFORMATION.** 42 If you can't find the info you require, email tiz@tiz-cycling.io **SUPPORTING THE SITE** Tiz is free to everyone everywhere, and is run by unpaid volunteers. It does, however, have running costs (equipment, utilities, etc). The ads on the site are a necessary evil as they earn money, and even more if you click on them. You can also help by donating (Donation button or email Tiz with the header "Donation"), or by buying Tiz a beer (when that option is available - all beer money actually goes on site costs). _______________________________________________________________________________________ **_RACE SCHEDULE_** **BECAUSE OF LIMITED SERVER CAPACITY, STREAMS FOR SOME RACES MAY HAVE TO BE DELAYED UNTIL ANOTHER STREAM IS FINISHED.** We will endeavour to annotate affected streams. The full broadcast will be recorded and archived Updated daily circa 06.00 UK time, and if changes occur thereafter. Where possible broadcast length is shown after broadcast start times, BUT when the race finishes depends on how hard the riders pedal, so if you turn up for the end of the broadcast you may miss the finish. The races listed here are currently scheduled to be broadcast/streamed at the times shown on the days shown (but watch for updates), and will usually be recorded and archived. All events live with English commentary unless otherwise stated. Check out the **Diary Dates** feature below for preliminary info on future events If a race isn't showing on the Blue Button 2 days before it is due to occur, usually either there's no broadcast OR we didn't know about the race. Asking for a "missing" race on the day is too late in most cases, though we will normally see what we can do for "early birds" *Us Ducks are not responsible for silly mistakes on the stream page* ![](https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/H8a54e137b9b949b79078458b1f12d401H/Cartoon-Large-Wall-Clock-Modern-Yellow-Smiley-Face-Kids-Bedroom-Silent-Kitchen-Clock-Home-Watch-Promotion.jpg) If your **time zone** isn't shown, try this [time zone converter](https://time.is/compare) ... **_IF THE RACE YOU WANT TO WATCH IS SCHEDULED HERE BUT NOT SHOWN ON THE STREAM PAGE IN ADVANCE, IT WILL APPEAR WHEN THE BROADCAST STARTS, JUST REFRESH THE PAGE_** ... **TODAY** **THURSDAY 16th** ![](https://flagpedia.net/data/flags/w580/cn.png) TOUR OF CHONGMING ISLAND (WE) stage 3 (of 3) -
