The weather here isn't very nice today and the TDU has me excited about racing. So I have spent quite a bit of time on Peacock with replays of last years races running on another device, and I just enjoy the background noise.

Thanks for the Alula heads-up, it actually has a pretty good startlist! (https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/alula-tour/2025/startlist) And the time difference isn't as crazy as the recent TDU one. (Only +11 hours for me rather than 18 or 19, the latter just don't compute.)Mallorca coming up on Max this week.
Alula is looking like Flobikes for Americans. And I don't do Flobikes.
Edit: it looks the Australian SBS showing Alula. So if you have VPN it's available in English.
FOX with their usual disregard for truth in their Super Bowl ads promoting Daytona 500: calling it the biggest car/motorsports race in the country? Maybe for their heavy viewership in the South it is. But Indy 500 is still tops.Just when we get a taste of cycling, things look a bit bleak for the next week, with only Oman availabe at zero dark hundred.
I suppose we could watch Daytona 500 qualifying.

I think rather than put it this way.. Show sponsorship investment and viewers, race attendance in a bar graph for last 40 years!! NASCAR is in freefall!!! And to be fair likely a bar graph would show everything would spike during Armstrong era with steep decline afterward.FOX with their usual disregard for truth in their Super Bowl ads promoting Daytona 500: calling it the biggest car/motorsports race in the country?

Gulf Time Zone is the worst for US West Coast for watching live racing. Races finish smack in the middle of the night.Just when we get a taste of cycling, things look a bit bleak for the next week, with only Oman availabe at zero dark hundred.

I tried that this morning and the site that shows streaming events said it won’t work if using a VPN!I just read Provence is on Australia's SBS if you have a vpn
On the American one I can use the small gear like icon on the video and lower the resolution to lets say 540, though Flow usually runs smoothly but when it doesn't run smoothly set to the lower resolutions if needed.. I watch on replay so that might make the difference. When I don't have time I also like to right click on video and adjust the speed of replay sometimes to 2x sometimes to 1.5 but always reset to 1x near finish but I like to reset to .5x for a few seconds as the audio commentary can seem slow at first when setting to 1x.I subscribe to flobikes in Canada.
This is the 3rd race in a row I have watched the last half hour or hour live and it buffers and crashes in the last kilometer.
Saw Pederson and Mohoric until around 500m, then when it came back the peloton was rolling thru the finish.
WTF!!! Its like old tiz from back in the day.
