GCN race pass 19.99

Neither the Giro nor the Vuelta are shown live on free to air though are they?

Dunno. I've never paid to watch them. I *think* they were both ITV4 (Freeview) this year. And the Vuelta has been on ITV4 for 2-3 years? I lose track ...

(The Giro has been the hard one to see in the past. But I think the Dauphiné has crept onto our screens instead! )

No, only Tour is shown live on itv4.
They show one hour of Vuelta highlights per day and nothing of Giro.
Giro highlights on Quest I think and live coverage on S4C but commentary is in Welsh.

Ah, you didn't specify "LIVE" - some of us are at work while the pros are riding :P

Best thing I’ve bought this year apart from the Planet X Das Boots £49.99

Some of us record 5/6 hours of racing,get home from work and lie on the couch watching it drinking alcohol.....can't wait.

Yeah I'm at work too, but the live streams can also be watched later as catch up viewing, rather than the very basic highlights shows on itv4 and Quest.

Wonder why stage 1 of Tour des Alpes-Maritime et du Var is only a two minute highlights show but the next two stages are being shown in full.
Two minutes highlights not really worth bothering.

Apparently that was all that was available to them,stage 2 and 3 are live.Odd

It's not taken long to spot the first howler

(that's York, PA, about 30 miles from Gettysburg)

The documentaries that I have seen so far have been very good enjoyable viewing, as has all the races, I don't regret spending £19.99 on a subscription at all

Unless you are using the 3 network for your internet.
I had endless problems last year trying to get GCN app to work properly via Chromecast with 3 as my ISP
It sort of worked, some of the time. Same issue with Eurosport Player too.
I also had some issues with BBC Iplayer on 3 so it was obviously a 3 problem.
They may have fixed it but given that 3 refused to recognise a problem, I doubt it.
I tried a Vodafone sim, and everything worked perfectly.
Then I move to Tesco Mobile, and everything works perfectly with them too.

I have a MiFi with a 3 SIM card in it, 24GB that last 2 years, sometime it works with the app, sometimes not, if I use my iPhone(on GiffGaff) as a personal hotspot to my iPad it works 1st time every time , I've nearly used up the 3 data so I think the cheapest way is just get a goody bag with larger data allowance and link via my phone, the videos don't half gobble through data though!

I thought the Tafi episode of Legends was superb. He came across as a very nice guy. 👍

I’ve just signed up for GCN+, seems like a great deal. I’m now wondering if there’s any point keeping Eurosport, I think GCN+ gives access to most cycling. Is that right?

 

[Domus]

Cancelling my Eurosport now.
