No Spoilers Please - TdF Stage 12 NBC Replay Not Available?!?

swaterfall · #1 07-19-2018, 09:15 PM

Logged onto NBC Sports Gold after work. Stage 12 is split into what appears to be 3 parts but the finalé is not available.

Anyone else having this issue?

Coverage ends at 55km to go. So frustrating.

Received this from NBC SG tech supp.

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us. The Stage 12 replay will be released in three parts and we currently have the first 2 parts available.

We are working on the third part and will post as soon as it is available.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Thanks for your patience.

weird. We watched the final 15k or so for a second time on NBC Sports Gold about 2 hrs after I had watched it live, but we were not able to use the slider to go forward or reverse.

The nice about the dutch place is that you can get the stage with other commentators

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I've been pretty pleased with NBC Sports Gold (and its predecessors) over the past few years. I just checked my phone app and all of yesterday's stage (ad-free) is available for viewing. Add in all the other races that are available to watch throughout the year and I think it's a pretty good deal.

When I first started following cycle sport in the mid-late 80's, the best you could get for race reporting was when you received a magazine 2-6 weeks after the event. If you had access to the New York Times, you might get a daily paragraph about the Tour de France. By the mid-90s, there were daily 1/2 hour ESPN re-cap shows for the TdF and web stories for most races. Today, we are grumbling about the live and recorded coverage that we get streamed to our phones, mobile devices, and homes. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am amazed at how good the coverage is today!

Cyclingtorrents.nl is “invite only” at present.

Totally agree. Been watching for decades and what we have today is better than it has ever been.

I’m amazed at the ad-free coverage on NBC Sports Gold and wonder how the announcers themselves go for hours with no breaks.
