You should be in the pay of Global Clueless Network, all the times you spam non-GCN topics about them!You need to pay for things sometimes.
If you want to watch cycling then, for a relatively small investment and to see races not always covered by ES, then GCN+ is the best option.
Either that or carry on whingeing, year on year, about ES is not cutting the mustard. Missed recordings, adverts.
I'm not in the pay of GCN+ and I also have Eurosprt for other sports but if you don't want the best solution I have to wonder if you're being deliberately perverse.
A lot of the time, E1 is branded Eurosport/GCN so is the same pictures with different voices. The next best channel for other races is probably L' Equipe 21 or Rai. Pay for the receiver and away you go. They have their foibles but most are slightly irritating, not massively annoying like GCN's commentators, or toxic to the sport like subscription.
Subscription TV is never the best solution for mass spectator sport. It starves it of new fans.
