Agreed om GCN, glad someone is finally making a legitimate effort to bring us great coverage of all of the races, not just the Tour, and isn't basically a bunch of commercials interspersed with a few minutes of commentary between the commercials. so I am glad to give them $25 and hope the can make a real go of it for many years to come.

As far as the race, man that might have been the most epic break of all time, 3 world champions and 2 TDF winners in a 6 man group off the front! I mean seriously for the history buffs, was there ever anything with more firepower in it?.
This new generation is so exciting to watch.

Licensing/rights issues, I suppose.

I'm watching it on Flobikes.

With about 34k to go Sam Bennet either blew the biggest snot rocket of all time or puked a bit.

No video, and it says “available in Europe and New Zealand”. I looked ahead to next weekend’s race, same message.

US subscribers are now cut off? What changed? New race broadcasting agreements/contracts?

Nothing changed. The US rights to those 2 races are currently bought by Flo Bikes, so they can hold US cyclists hostage in order to fund their expensive bike trips. I think you can get those races for the $150 fee Flo charges.

I’ve been using a free VPN on my iPad, setting to the Netherlands, and watching all the races we can’t get in the us... really easy... just an FYI..

Yes, this works, but for some reason I can't get airplay to work while my phone is using vpn. Have to hdmi from laptop.

Does anyone know if there will be any synergy between GCN subscription, and any Mountain Bike races (aka GMBN)?

I have been unable to figure out if the anticipated reduction in broadcasting of MTB events, will be picked up by GCN as a sister company of GMBN.

They are mostly just rebroadcasting Eurosport. I have not seen anything other than a doc on the Atherton family on MTB.

So I watched for the first time today and have a question.

Are there two different feeds, one LIVE and one not really live but delayed? I had it on all morning even if I didn't watch the entire time but accidentally closed the browser window. When I (immediately logged back on) POOF the race was over.

When it closed I thought it was 45K to the finish?

What in the hell was I watching?

Maybe it had been paused for a while?

I can't login on my desktop today. Firefox or Safari. iPhone works fine.

I watched on my phone (android) and I noticed that flipping to other apps screws up the sound/video sync. I got to hear Sean Kelly call the finish 12 seconds after it happened on the screen.

I've watched the 2 stages of the Giro broadcast by GCN on my TV by hooking up my computer to the TV with an HDMI cable. GCN is pretty slick this way. I don't get up on time to watch the entire race live but it's easy to roll back to the start so I can view the entire race from the start.
