After the tour de suisse it seems the obstacles at this years tour are gonna be the three C’s. Cobbles, climbs and covid. how long are their daily HL packages normally, do they have a sort of standard time they normally make the TdF HL package available, based on previous yrs.

With that payTV having rights, you’ll need to be “elsewhere in the world” to watch. curious, they using IP based blocking or based on your payment card/details ? which VPN you using ?

awesme Posted June 22, 2022 Share ok, stupid me, installed the app on apple tv. go down to settings, then subscription, (can see I'm going to enable a VPN for my home network soon...) it's saying Annual Free, rEgistered, but how do I subscribe. Is there a "TV Guide" of sort. where you can tag what you want to want. to be reminded it's about to start ? G PS: off to Berg and Bush in a couple of hours, so will respond on Monday when I get back. Edited June 22, 2022 by awesme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G I used my credit card as the service is available in SA, but has certain races blocked. For Eurosport you need to use an EU-based credit card. I used my brother’s card for a month access (Eurosport) to try it out first, shortly before GCN+ launched. I’m using NordVPN, so it shows my IP address is UK based, or any other country I need to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted June 22, 2022 Share Desktop is better than the mobile app, to show the range of highlights. You'll see Short Highlights, Extended Highlights, Post Race Interviews, as well as the full race. On days where I can't watch live, and I don't want to know the results, I would scrub to about an hour out and watch "delayed live"from there.

I'm expecting this one to be the most exciting I just hope Wout is allowed enough time off from baby sitting the GC's to be a serious contender for the green jersey.

With Laporte in the team it shows that they are even giving HIM support. They have said it is a goal this year, so it wouldn't make sense to say 'It's a goal' and then not allow him to go balls deep to achieve it. Guys forget how well Tiesj Benoot was riding early season too. The smaller teams these days definitely do make the bid for 2 jerseys more challenging. I like it Vetplant and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vetplant Posted June 23, 2022 Share With Wout chasing Green, it is conceivable that JV can possibly walk away with all the Jerseys, IF they can beat Pog... It has been the case that the winner of the race has been able to pocket the Polka Dot by just chasing Yellow. If Vingegaard is above Pog, it means White is secured. Then Wout bringing home the Green, possibly. BUT, it doesn't help you chase all of them and lose Yellow. Thus, I'd think Yellow trumps all other ambitions. So get that in the bank and then the rest can chase the other jerseys. TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
