UCI World Championships
Does anyone know where we can watch this weekend? Flobikes has it blocked in the US. I thought NBC owned the rights but it is not listed in their Cycling Pass calendar.
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? |

Is there a way for you to get the BBC stream from the UK? They are showing the men's race on Sunday.

It turns out
that it is on the Olympic Channel that NBC owns. Thurs-Sun events.Not as good as when the juniors an U-23's are racing but I will watch ( commercials and all)

One would need an account linked to an actual British address. They solved the VPN end-run years ago

Do you have access to the BBC? The requirement may even be that you need to pay the licensing fees, although I'm not sure.
Funny enough, one could get BBC1 in Amsterdam |

It and my Eurosport get billed annually. Never been an issue.

Was it only one year ago that the U23 guy was disqualified for drafting? Tempus fugit.
Is it a full schedule of events this year? What kind of course is it this year, and what type of rider does it favour? |

Only Elite events this year, no Junior or U23, although there are a couple U23 riders doing Elite. It's a super hilly course, with 2 climbs that are 6 and 11%. It could favor the punchier climbers, or some of the classics guys who can climb, a la WvA. And in what is a great turn of events, there is parity between the men and women's course. The men it's 260 km, and the women it's 160 km.

I'll probably watch on either Sporza or NOS.nl with a VPN.
Re: the women's road race. Last week Annemiek van Vleuten broke her wrist during the Giro Rosa. For any normal human that would have ended a chance to defend the jersey but AvV doesn't give up easily. She was also scheduled to do the TT but has decided not to race that event.
