2026 Paris-Nice highlights on TV?

I guess this won't be available anymore. With one week to go there is no sign of it in the schedules of any of the previous broadasters; ITV4, DMax, & Quest. I thought I'd try Discovery+/TNT but as we all know it's £30.99 a month*, which is bad enough, but I see that all plans now include adverts etc. I'd be happy to watch a free broadcast & put up with adverts, but not when I'm also paying a monthly fee just to watch highlights of a one week race. I don't feel this is value for money, and take issue with the avaricious 'rights holders' who are exploiting this. It's the same across the world of course, but this doesn't make it OK for those who just want to watch a bit of cycling now and then. We only want to see highlights of the Paris-Nice, Dauphine (now renamed), and the grand tours.

*Obviously the payment could be a 'one off' if cancelled before the next auto renewal.

Last year I bought a 1 month subscription to catch up on the spring classics. IIRC, the replays of the full coverage were ad-free. l effectively made my own highlights shows by quickly skipping ahead when not much was happening.

I don't know if that still applies?

There’s bound to be highlights on YouTube.

TNT are doing highlights of current races on YouTube but only a few minutes long and sometimes just the last few km.
