Where does everyone watch cycling races? (self.bicycling)

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?

This might just be it 🙃

It's a shame that competition for this stuff is piracy or get shafted because I'm absolutely fine spending a reasonable sum on watching it but I can't justify paying for Discovery+ - I just want to watch cycling not more reality TV!

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!

I'm in the US, where our choices are limited / too expensive. So I usually VPN to Australia, then watch on SBS.
