What's with the eurosport vuelta coverage (self.procycling)

They seem to just not really be covering it. No highlights show that I can find tonight and the tour of Denmark and tour de l'avenir are more prominent on the website. What gives?

I watched the NBC Sports extended highlights on YouTube. Their coverage seems decent. Not sure if that will work for you.

NBC's coverage is good, but might be limited to North America.

Good reminder for me to not assume everyone is from the US. Thank you!

They are definitely covering it. Tiz-Cycling has the live streams and full stage replays, both taken from the Eurosport coverage.

No highlights show there either though. But thanks for sharing, that's an interesting option for no longer paying discovery for their stupid artificial monopoly. I would put up with paying if the product was actually good 🙄

RIP GCN+

Fuckin tell me about it. Best subscription I ever had.

Though in fairness to eurosport the highlights show did air at a reasonable time today (though the studio b team leave a lot to be desired).

Honestly, even if they doubled the price, i would have kept GCN+

now warner/discovery can have ZERO dollars from me. Get fucked.

Yeah unfortunately you can usually only choose between the full coverage or the final kilometers (length depends on the type of stage). One of our public broadcasters in Australia has pretty good live and on demand coverage but it is ad-supported and sometimes that can get annoying.
