Last February NBC announced their new 6 year agreement for Le Tour 2024-2029.
Here's an excerpt from the press release...

Those are all the races they've covered for the last couple of years. I doubt we'll get anything additional from Peacock.

fwiw i watched the NHL winter classic on Max/BR Sports to see how it ran on Roku and the picture quality was absolutely perfect and beautiful, so at least we have that.

For the upcoming TDU, the simplest thing for an English language broadcast is ...

1. Flobikes
2. VPN to Australia then watch it on The Seven Network https://tourdownunder.com.au/race/watch

TDU has been on NBC/Peacock forever. It won't be this year?
Doesn't matter to me . As far as I'm concerned the season starts with Strade,

I hope people take your advice and there are work arounds for Netflix and YouTube that make any reservations you have about trying VPN services worth it.

I subscribed to Peacock for the 1st time a few months ago when folks on here pointed out the good deal they were offering for a 1yr deal. It will be a “backup” to my mostly VPN-accessed race viewing this spring and summer. But just noticed a side-benefit: it’s the only service broadcasting/streaming the best (KC-Miami) of the NFL playoff games this weekend

Here's a good article about the situation

What GCN+ Shutdown and Shift to Max Means for US Bike Racing Fans in 2024 - PezCycling News

Here is the bottom line:

What GCN+ Shutdown and Shift to Max Means for US Bike Racing Fans in 2024 - PezCycling News

What does this week's GCN+ shutdown and shift to Max means for US bike racing fans in 2024.

pezcyclingnews.com

2024 USA Streaming Cycling Services
Max (plus B/R Live Sports Tier): $219.99 per year
FloBikes: $149.99 pear year
Peacock: $59.99 per year
Annual Total: $429.97

Luckily I got Peacock for $20.00. Flobikes doesn't carry enough to shell out $150 (I know I've had it). So it's $220+20, figure $250 with taxes and the other charges that get added per year. I realize MAX has a lot of additional programming but I don't care just like I don't watch anything else on Peacock, only cycling. I feel screwed big time.
But I'll buy MAX on 2/28. I think that means I get the$10 addon free correct?
LOL MAX won't let me create an account............

This weekend, with the Euro countries CX Nat Champs, will be a good time to try it out.

The season starts with Omloop het cantspellblatt

Still Het Volk to me and its simple to spell.

Although in UK I've just read the Pez article, it just looks an absolute nightmare.

Well we have the first WT race, The Tour Down Under, showing live on Peacock. So far no commercials in 23 minutes. Commentators are Phil, Robby and some woman.

Commercial free is my friend. Hope it stays that way.

The woman is asking McEwan questions that she's knows the answer to, e.g. "is that ice?" So that he tell us about ice and pantyhose. I hate that format.

 

[stefank]

"The woman" is Anna Meares.

Can we call her "That Woman"

 

[stefank]

Can we call her "That Woman"

Provided you add her palmares!

 

[yaco]

Anne Meares was one of the best track riders of her generation. Multiple medals in Olympic Games and World's - Her best win was at the 2008 Olympic Games after Britain had dominated the track.

Is Mcewen a regular thing on nbc moving forward?

I like it, because I’m a simpleton and I need the commentators to carefully walk me through minutiae. While secretly it reinforces ancient patriarchal hierarchy structures in society.

 

[Potomac]

That woman sounds like she works for the local chamber of commerce.

I know I watched the Mallorca races last year, but I can't remember if it was GCN or my VPN.
I haven't found anything about who might be broadcasting this year's races.
