Don't think they're carrying Worlds unless I'm missing something?

Worlds isn't listed on their site.

Cyclingfans usually has links to the broadcast(s).

If you have a VPN set up, you can probably watch Eurosport.

oops, you're right john. i just saw that quickly this morning and read "world's best cx races" as "world's..."

sorry!

[echelon_john]

Logical assumption! With the weather there this week it's definitely shaping up to be among the world's best! : )

Can i get a one time pass for that? I am no fan of subscription services. Not in the least.

Can i get a one time pass for that? I am no fan of subscription services. Not in the least.it's totally worth it if you watch all the world cups with it. $30/yr I think. works awesome on an amazon fire tv, with native app.

other option is the UCI youtube feed via Opera browser with the VPN option turned on. this is free and no subscription. but then your viewing options are limited to your computer, unless you have a way to connect to your tv. I tried this with Chromecast, with varied success.

Olympic channel (on Comcast here) has the women saturday at 9 and the men sunday at 9

Anyone know what country I need to have my VPN set to in order to watch the UCI stream on youtube? Or some other stream?

Olympic channel is on direct tv as well. It’s pretty good, they tend to cut a bit out for commercials though.

.

Agreed.

I recently purchased and happy I did.

The stored replays make it especially nice since I rarely can watch real time.

It has all the WC, Classics and World Tour races EXCEPT the Giro...BeIN has the rights to that one.

You are correct sir, thanks.

Also, for anyone interested this document tells specifically what times things are on what channels and where, and where things are geo-restricted.

What times (EST) do the premier races begin?

EDIT: Sorry, I see now in post #7

For anyone who is thinking about a VPN, I've been using VPN Unlimited for a year and have been very happy with it. I've used it to watch races on a variety of channels over that time....UCI, Sporza, RAI, etc.

You can sign up for one month's service and get a 7 day free trial so that would cover the World's.

Chrome users can just use Hola as well to access country-specific content. Works very well.

Didn't realize I could use NBC Sports Gold on my "smart TV" via the app - will have to look into that for TdF time and the Classics - I end up using my laptop most of the time and watching on my trainer, but good to know it's an option.

$30/yr is a steal in my opinion - even though I prefer some of the Euro/UK announcers.

I have been using the NBC Sports Gold app (and its predecessor TdF apps) since 2014. IMO its a very inexpensive and convenient way to watch pro road racing in the US. Commercial-free, ability to watch replays at my convenience, and can be streamed to a smart TV. I only wish they had a few more of the classics available (Milan-San Remo, Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold, Tour of Lombardy, etc...). I guess I shouldn't complain. When I started following this sport, the best one could hope for was VeloNews print coverage 2-4 weeks after the event!

Set your VPN for Canada. My YouTube UCI channel lists my weekend watching:

now for the really important question...what's the beer of choice for watching the cx worlds ???

[jb_11]

+2 or 3 on the NBC app. I've purchased for the TdF coverage the last few years, and all the other races are just a bonus.

Looking forward to the race in an hr.

I am watching the UCI you tube site in the US...maybe because I am across the river from Canada?

[mtb_frk]

Yeah I watched the jr men and u23 women on the UCI YouTube channel. Hopefully it keeps working.
