Does anyone know any info on TV coverage?

I hope it is not just coverage of the start and finish.

Looks like BBC One will have it live. Need a UK IP to access the iPlayer, and you have to lie about having a TV license. Torguard works well to get that UK IP. ($30/year)

(Hola might also work but may subject you to things you don't want to be subjected to)

In paper UK and Spain look very very very powerfull... wish purito could get this gold medal to top his career.

In the female race my fav is Ms. Vos. Eventhought doesnt look like she is in super form. When is the female race?

Can Vos climb? I still like Lizzie, but if she wins, there will be a lot of shaking heads. Would love to see PFP win. Or her Rabo Liv teammate from Poland, Kasia!

Vos can do literally anything when she's going well. Climb, sprint, TT, classics, anything. Truly another Merckx.

I like Mara Abbott if she can stay upright on the descent. That's not a given though...

As sandy said, Vos was the Boss for several years, she went off like a year ago and has been taking some time for her to come back. Track, road, up, down, TT, she can do it all.

Remember her last World tittle, she went in the last uphill dropping everybody, actually everybody was the last 5 to 8 riders remaining from the over 100 peloton.

The women's RR is Sunday morning.

I'd like to see Anna van der Breggen or Kasia Niewiadoma take it....but I'd be OK with a Vos win.
