As per the title really. I've got the Eurosport app on my TV and it's certainly tempting - but is it worth it?

In the interests of balance... Yes.

Fair weathered,fair minded but easily persuaded.
Whilst i was waiting for my house to be built last year and i was staying with friends i subscribed so i could watch the cycling. It was good for my circumstances though the downer is you have sign up for a year. It was £3.99 a month then.
I have SKY now at £29 a month which includes Eurosport and gives me Sky Go+ which is great for all my commuting.

My brother has the app and watches all the cycling, he thinks it's good value but he would as he still lives at home and doesn't have to spend any money on anything else like Council Tax and Mortgages, Utilities...etc... I have it as part of my Sky, like others, and only switch to it for cycling coverage.
Is it worth the price of a coffee or two per month x12 to have access to TV coverage of three Grand Tours plus all the Classics plus one week World Tour stage races plus UK Crits (not all of them, and there's a lot of unavoidable and inexplicably timed ad breaks and a lot will have Carlton Kirby commentating....)?

It's the cycling I'm interested in and think I want to watch more than the TDF. I've read a few threads bemoaning sudden changes in schedules etc, and since Eurosport don't seem to offer a trial period, don't have anything to go on.

I had the eurosport player for a year and hardly watched it and sometimes when I did try to watch it the app would crash or not work. I have found that nearly everything I want to watch cycling wise can be found on a stream somewhere or on normal tv.
You don't have to sign up for a year. You can subscribe a month at a time, for £6 instead of £4.

I wouldn't pay for the privilege of watching loads of adverts.

If we all felt that then there wouldn't be any Pro Cycling (or much sport at all) to watch. Even One Pro Cycling being partly 'crowdfunded' has a 'title sponsor' partnership with F&F clothing. It depends on the adverts to be able to happen in the first place.

Eurosport cycling is very good - there are a lot of the one-day classics, minor Tours and pre-season build-up races plus the main Tours.
The only problem is that aside from the main Tours cycling is of low level importance and occasionally gets shunted back when other Live scheduled sports overrun (mainly Tennis!).
