GCN Race pass?

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.

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.

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

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.
