Would anyone have a rough idea of the start and finish time of the mens road race on Sunday ?
UK time thanks

8:45am start
BBC2 coverage is 2:25pm to 4:35pm so finish will be sometime around 4pm I guess

I believe it starts 08:45 UK time, not sure if that includes the rollout or is the time the flag drops.
Around 6 - 6.5 hours riding, so finish should be between 14:45 and 15:45 at an estimate, but don't take that as a guarantee!

Both the womens and mens races should be in full on iPlayer and the BBC web site

I just downloaded the latest Discovery plus app. If you can avoid it, don’t do it. Previously two clicks took me to cycling. Now it’s impossible to separate it from the other sport, unless I’m doing something wrong. A search does bring up Cycling but not in any useful order. A step backwards.

Choose sport from the top then keep scrolling down until you reach 'popular sports' where you find the familiar choose your sport.
Our offer subscription has ended we haven’t renewed and have not been offered any deals either 🙁 Looks like they’ve lost us.

I was about to post the same thing! I honestly think that TNT Discovery are the most horrendous company out there!

* They inflate the price of watching cycling to almost unjustifiable levels
* They make it hard to work out which is the ad free channel
* They then make us watch ads even though we are selling our kidneys to watch the sport
* Now they make it hard for us even to find the cycling! Do I LOOK like I want to watch cricket????

There are very few companies I despise but they are at the top!

So now instead of having it at the top of the screen it's half way down and you have to scroll past cycling to find the live and upcoming events, bravo TNT which idiot came up with that gem.

It's still spoiler free, for now. That's its final remaining decent feature in comparison to Sky Sports.

I asked in the other thread, but has anyone found the schedule view where you can look back in time? That was often my preferred way of finding something. It seems schedule only looks forward now.

Still got TNT with my 'old' BT package, although that will change should we get full fibre, which is due soon(ish).

Anyway, contrary to the above info from the BBC, Sunday's Time Trials are on the Freesat Red Button 1 broadcast channel too, with what might be repeats on Monday and Tuesday. I suspect they will also be on Freeview 601 but I've not yet checked. So people don't have to let Snoopy Auntie watch what they're watching if they don't want to.

BBC would rather put Radio 2, some film chat and the FA Cup third qualifying round on TV red button. Eurosport Germany and RAI Sport have it, though.

Meanwhile for the womens road on iPlayer Categories, Sport and it was offered without any further looking for it.
