It seems GCN won't broadcast it, so where can we watch it?

Super SpoilSport has the rights to the whole lot. Thanks UCI. GCN + is looking like a tremendous waste of change.

You are gonna need to use a VPN with GCN.

Here you go.

It's how I've been watching Worlds for years and TDF more recently. Windscribe is pretty decent, and  free, but a browser plugin so you'll need to watch on your PC. Otherwise a NordVPN subscription means you can run VPN off your router so you can watch however you like. Also handy for Netflix international libraries etc.

Yip. DStv is how much per month now? R800?

My subscriptions: HBO Max, GCN+, Youtube Premium and ExpressVPN comes in under R500 per month. Also South African pricing is way, way lower than other territories. e.g. Youtube Premium is R80pm vs $16 for US subscribers. It's actually a bonus to be a South African for once!

ProtonVPN is free. Well it has a free version that gives you 3 locale options: Japan, USA and Netherlands. I've never missed an event when logging in to GCN+ via the Netherlands.

Yeah I've got motogp, gcn+, worldsbk and expressVPN, but it's annoying, sometimes expressVPN lags or disconnects, some stages of TDF I ended up watching illegaly because I couldn't watch GCN because of the damn VPN.

Luckily motogp and worldsbk don't require (yet) a VPN like F1 used to do when I tried watching for a while

For the price of a two bags of groceries, DSTV really is easier if you don’t want to / can’t be bothered to jump through hoops.

First part of the Mens Downhill Finals were in dry conditions, but it is bucketing down now. 

Will take an exceptional run from the Top Qualifiers to unseat the podium. 

Unfair, maybe. But luck is part of sport.
