The 2025 Giro Highlights on TV

[T4tomo]

Is it possible to get Quest on-line or is it attached to another service? Anybody know, please

Yes if you register/ create an account on Disco+ which is free and don't then buy a subscription, you can still watch Quest (and its other FTA channels) live on the app or via the website your PC etc.

In past years the highlights shows shown on Quest would be available to then watch back later (but not immediately, so if you missed that evenings highlights it was normally 24 hours later it appeared in the free highlights section to watch).

"The ultimate Cycling show" episodes shown on Quest are up there to watch so the above should hopefully stand for the 2025 Giro and beyond.

helpfully things that are free to watch have "Free" shown on the icon

Thank you all. Found it on our Virgin box, set a series link, and TV watching for 3 weeks now sorted.

Anyone like to guess which stage's highlights will be replaced with another random show this year?

that was eurosport wasnt it ? it used to be tennis or some such if you recorded the highlights.

Which is now owned by Warner Bros/Discovery+ and those Eurosport highlights will be shown on Quest!

i always found quest although using the eurosport feed has always had the right sport on highlights whereas the old eurosport channels were notorious for showing just about anything else .

No, the Eurosport schedulers also seem to have infected Quest from time to time, and of course it's far more bizarre when they play the wrong programme out, as their library is far bigger than sport. It's also much less understandable because Quest rarely covers live events needing them to change the schedule. Here's an example from 2021: https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/what-tv-are-you-watching.196255/post-6500972

I will also vouch for Quest just randomly switching out their Highlights shows.
It must be deliberate, though I have NO idea why.
They don't show very many over the year, so as a percentage the cancellation rate is huge!

The Quest free online highlights were commentary free !
Maybe a change of sabotage method.

Quest is on Freeview, channel 12 I think.

Also on Freesat in HD 144, same channel no as Sky HD

It drives sign-ups for discovery+ to access the 'free' highlights, doesn't it?

Yes. At least you would think so... perhaps this is why you and I aren;t multi-million dollar online marketing consultants?!

 

[Milzy]

Yeah I have TNT but get back late so just put Quest on as it runs it then runs it again on another Quest channel.

Why do Quest use stage profile graphics that just rate every climb as "GPM"?? A quick google shows that everyone else has a profile image with Cat numbers on - pretty much what I see when I watch any other Grand Tour for years now.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGGH!!
