I've got the standard plan through my sky subscription and I still get the cycling on the discovery app ad free.For the last couple of years, I've been subscribed to Discovery+ using a Fire cube and an annual sub. This has got me not only Eurosport 1 and 2 but access to ad-free streams of major cycling events and complete live coverage of others, including many one day events. So, when the commentators for, say, the Tour state there's an ad break coming, I don't get ads and they just carry on.
Today, my Discovery+ sub autorenewed not for an annual sub but for £6.99 a month. When I looked up the subscription rates, the cycling options for the £6.99 a month contact were unchecked and greyed out, as they were for the only annual subscription option shown. They were not unchecked for the only other sub shown of £30.99 a month (!!).
Got through to a human being on Discovery's online chat. He said the annual sub was now withdrawn but the £6.99 month sub should get me cycling via Eurosport 1 and 2. When I asked if this included the ad-free Tour streams and the other events that I was able to view live in full last year (that didn't always appear on Eurosport 1 and 2 even as highlights), he was rather vague about that other than saying limited advertising was now included
I've opted to carry on the sub for the time being to see what I actually get. I'm not optimistic, though.
From what I've seen there are 3 plans Basic, Standard and Premium. The difference is explained in the link below.
