I am wondering if anyone has purchased the GCN race pass? $40 seems like a good price but I am trying to figure out what you get for that.

That is if you live in the USA.

Thanks.
Yeah I am in the US.
They mention in Demand but don't say much about it, I am wondering if you can watch the races later on, and if yes, how long will they keep them up for?.

i signed up for the GCN race-pass...their marketing press it says: "Uninterrupted live & on-demand racing all season long"...using the android app, i am as yet unable to locate where/how to watch the Strade Bianche coverage from last weekend!

i wanted to give the new guys a shot and $40 for a year seemed reasonable, but this does not look promising...

For road racing, the GCN Pass looks like.....a pass. All 2nd and 3rd tier races.

For cross it gets a bit better, but I will wait and see.

If you use a VPN for this, it works perfectly. I'm in the US and watched Strade on it last weekend.

Favorite VPN for use with GCN Racepass and Flo?

Can't say if it's my favorite beacuse its the only one that I used, but I successfully used ExpressVPN to watch this years Tour and Vuelta.
Also if you check out Alex Dowsett's youtube channel, he recently had a really good promo on a VPN

Just an fyi, I have been watching cyclocross races on the uci youtube channel by setting my Norton vpn to Australia.

I use Tiz-cycling.com who re-broadcasts the GCN coverage, plus some others. Usually i have to scroll down and select a different “mirror” to get one that streams. I think one can watch live, but I am not usually that motivated to get up for an early start in Europe. I give the guy €5 every few months.

I use ExpressVPN too. The only thing I hate is that I can not airplay to my AppleTV. Wish I could just use the Eurosport app on the AppleTV with my VPN like I do with BBC and ITV. But you have to pay for access and I haven’t figured out a way yet to do it. [emoji3]

I'll give Express VPN a go. I'm getting frustrated with PIA (which I use now) and it hasn't been updated to run on BigSur OS yet and i've been waiting to make the OS update.
Thanks

I think the VPN blocks my airplay.

For those of you considering a VPN, I think almost any paid VPN will work, as this is pretty much the most basic function of any VPN. Be wary of any free ones though, as those are the most common sources of malware.
