Is there a better way to watch the Vuelta than watching the final Km from NBC Sports on Steep Hill? (Free would be nice too)

Pretty happy with the NBC Gold app. Not free, but very convenient and reliable.

Agree. I'm into free as well but $30 for a year is a steal.

Commercial free racing coverage is worth the $30.

Universal HD is showing the last two hours of the race every day if you have the channel.

NBC Gold is a decent deal. Only 19.99 for the rest of the year too.

I use vipbox.tv to stream live cycling, F1, MMA and other sports. Be advised its a little quirky and you have to wade through redirects to betting sites but once though all that fluff it can be a great resource.

Thanks for that info. Today's stream via all the links on steephill were extremely flaky. I suppose that there were a LOT of folks on the shadow servers and it just couldn't handle it in spite of them broadcasting both Eurosport 1 and 2.

$30/year for a VPN, $7.50/month for Eurosport Player. Easy access to on demand replays.

Mike in AR:beer:That's why I decided to shell out for the NBC app. Can't tell you how many times a cyclingfans.com stream froze inside the last kilometer.

Yah. I may have to bite the bullet and buy the access next year.

Use a UK proxy to watch ITV's highlights on their site, I think it's shown at 6 or 7gmt, so it's not up immediately but it's a 45ish minute show with interviews before and after each stage, and the commentary is Ned Boulting and David Millar, not Carlton Kirby.
