Cycling on USA TVs, desktops, laptops, and handheld devices

[jaylew]

So which VPN do people use here in the USA?
I read somewhere that GCN in an example was using ExpressVPN.
But I want to know what people use here before I make a mistake.
Thanks,

I've been using VypyrVPN for 3 years now and it's worked flawlessly. No Peacock, no NBC, no Flobikes, no Tiz, no races missed, and english commentary for every race, In many, many years of trying to watch races from the US, this is by far the best set up I've ever had. I should add that I don't have to pay for the VPN so that makes it even better.

So Amstel is on tomorrow and without VPN it appears I'll have to use Tiz or Cycling Today.

I am assuming that everyone in the states have peacock becuase of the Tour de France. Having said that they have ASO rights. They will broadcast Fleche and Liege as well.

Unavailable In Your Region

Flobikes have those rights as well because of viewers in Canada. If you live in the States you must have Peacock and GCN. You will miss very few races. The big one was Flanders. But the rest are covered in the other 2 for the most part.

As to the bolded, you’ll see in the last few pages that some of us just use a VPN now. Watched a reply of Lutsenko’s solo win on Stage 4 of Tour of Sicily this morning.

I think the Australian SBS is covering the Amstel, so there's at least one english language feed available to those with a VPN

I'm attempting to watch Amstel on Tiz right now, am holding my breath and not even moving because I may lose the feed!

But seriously, I have downloaded a VPN, just not quite sure how to use it yet.

I'm using cyclingtoday launched through FB and it's been behaving quite well As I write it drops LOL! It's back. It's a one man show anyway. Maybe the battle for the podium will be good.

Tiz is dropping all over the place, apparently Healy just attacked and Pidcock got left in the dust. At least that's what I think is going on, with Tiz's feed I have to use my imagination a lot.

Exactly, NBC/Peacock have always had Fleche and LBL. They'll just put it up at the last minute to make us sweat it out!!! But now they are advertising the schedule YEAH!!!!

I'm simply elated to know La Fleche Wallonne will be on Peacock tomorrow, start time here on the West Coast is 4am.

Ignore the 2015 version of this thread that I accidently brought back to life.

who is doing the commentary for the Giro on Bein Sports? I just tuned in briefly, but they didn't seem familiar to me.

I didn't know Bein had the Giro on tv! Is it the full races or highlights?

daily live coverage on Bein Sports Xtra, as far as I could see. Afaik that channel is also available for free on TV.

There's a stream here (little window on the right, takes a moment to load): https://www.beinsportsxtra.com/beinsportsxtra

Very Interesting! Thanks!
Nothing is free on TV in the USA except over the air channels. I checked you need to have a sub with one of 16 providers I don't know if all of them cost money, then you get it for NO Extra Cost. I happen to have Tubi (came with my dvd blue ray) so I'm watching it there now. I'll use it when Kirby is calling, I detest him LOL.
I don't know who either of the race callers are.
LOL 5 minutes ago I got a 'this video cannot be played' and it won't reload. I just reloaded after the finish of stage and it's back. Will check it out later!

Say it ain't so - is it true Dauphine will be available on Flobikes only here in the States? The race has such a fine (albeit incomplete right now) startlist, I'll cry into my pillow if I have to experiment with some sort of a new thing the kids are calling VPN.

Not True! My dvr has already found a showing (1PM EDT) on 6/4 which means it will also be on Peacock . It looks like tv with later showings on weekend only. Even better it means we'll get it commercial free on Peacock.

I should have checked Peacock first before going into full freakout mode (the webs only mentioned flobikes coverage) - thank you, Carols!

Peacock has TdU, PN, PR, FW, LBL, CdD, TdF, and VaE so far this year.

TDS is flobikes only, unfortunately

It appears the Italian races are back with BEin Sports. I didn't realize that until part way through the Giro, but that's definitely where the Giro was.

Well it was definitely on GCN, that's where I watched every stage start to finish. I thought BEin was just like an hour show, that's what my friend told me who watched it there.

I watched the night replays and they were typically 2 hours.

Nice. I'd have bought the package for a month just to have the last hour of the final TT to keep.

Does anybody know who NBC and its derivatives will have in the booth calling the ToF this 2023?

GCN is carrying it.
