Cycling on USA TVs

[Potomac]

I let my vpn expire in May, but I 'm too interested in World's so I signed up again.

 

[Potomac]

So I got the BBC feed today for World's. Wow, how could anything be so dry and yet be uninformative?

Replays of the Junior races (+some of the track events) are available for free on the Flobikes Youtube channel, by the way:

Not sure if there's a free livestream as well, but it seems like.

I watched it on cycling.tv a pirated stream. No sound but it didn't drop the pic once! So, I have no idea who was calling the race .

cycling.tv has become a bunch of pirated streams?

I remember when that was the main site for watching races legitly

Just another Tiz with no replays now.

If you have Comcast, you can subscribe to watch the greatest race of the year La Volta a Portugal by ordering the Portuguese package which comes with its broadcaster. I never miss it and every year just watching it raises my Hct level.

I tried to watch Tiz (should have tried cycling.tv instead!) - Tiz also came with no sound and unfortunately it really started acting up later in the race. So I threw my hands up in the air and just sort of gave up, I'll have to watch a full replay of the men's rr one of these days. Does anyone have a link to it, btw.? Apparently I'm a dunce at finding cycling links on youtube...

hopefully, the dumb interns aren't manning the Vuelta feed for Peacock this year and the race is without commercials

 

[HelloDolly]

Yea, I enjoy Nico’s stories and inside information of being a pro, the teams, and the hotels.

And to think GCN wouldn't have him for GTs and got that empty vessel Adam Blythe to talk fooolishness all day long instead while Rob Hatch went into hyper annoying mode

Nico should be commenting at the Vuelta ..his favourite race ..lots of stories to tell on that

 

[houtdffan]

oh, Peacock had better have McCrossan not Bob eyeRoll

 

[Carols]

Oh No!! It's Bobke and CVV

 

[ManicJack]

Oh No!! It's Bobke and CVV

At least no commercials.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

I like Bobke and CVV, especially CVV is insightful to the listeners, but that may be an unpopular opinion.

 

[Carols]

At least no commercials.

Wrong

 

[ManicJack]

Wrong

On Peacock premium?

 

[Carols]

On Peacock premium?

Yep!

 

[houtdffan]

The dumbass interns are running the Vuelta presentation again this year

Only race of the year that has commercials on Peacock

 

[ManicJack]

Yep!

I'm watching it on GCN + with a VPN. Not interested in listening to Bob Roll. CVV and Nico Roche would would make a good combo

I'm hoping it's only on the weekend because it's on TV, No TV show during the week.

I've pretty much given up on USA TV presentations. All year I've VPNed into Australia and watched streaming on SBS. So it is the only the cost of my VPN of which I use and have anyway. And SBS have televised (streamed) pretty much every race I wanted to see. The announcers aren't the best, but I'm getting used to them and their accent. If only they would keep Simon Gerrans from talking so much.

BTW, this stage 1 of the Tour of Spain is the most F-up'ed stage I have ever watched, from the start on the plastic/rubber concourse at the start of the race when it is raining, to nighttime commencing half-way thru the race.

Since stage 2 was live on tv and on Peacock and they had commercials at different times I was able to switch back and forth and watch commercial free LOL

 

[Potomac]

It was obvious Piccolo was taking red, yet Roll and CV2 kept saying Bardet.

commercials at DIFFERENT TIMES?

What in the world is NBC doing?

They are Fing it up royally. Not on TV today but still get commercials It'll be like this for the entire race. I wish Someone who wants to show cycling would buy the rights to all the races NBC holds. But it's just not a big commodity in the USA
