I had a GCN subscription until they were bought up by discovery, and now I've found out that the TdF won't be on free-to-watch tv in my home country any more I'm running out of places to view it; where you lot get your professional cycling fix from?

Flobikes/Flosports has the rights to the TdF and most other races here. I tried to use them once and gave up. They are incompetent, shitty, greedy, and evil.

So if I'm going to watch, it's down to pirate streams.

Yeah this might be the way - it's such a shame because on its own GCN+ was great (their awful attempt at a social media platform notwithstanding). Even if Discovery had a cycling only tier I wouldn't mind as much - but I don't give a toss about any of their other sport or content other than the cycling. My winters are much worse now I can't watch the CX!
