Watching the Giro - how reliable are streaming sites?

I'd like to watch the Giro on Eurosport but that channel isn't included in my Sky package.

How do I get to watch the highlights? Do I have to use a streaming sight? Are they suspect? They seem to want me to download stuff and that makes me wary...

    Eurosport Player.
    There are other free sites but I can't vouch for them.
    The only annoying thing about Eurosport is the utterly ridiculous advertisements.
    And Sean Kelly's voice.

    I had no requirements to download anything.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    its not, you have to pay a monthly fee. Worth it though...

    Otherwise, http://www.steephill.tv/ is a good site for watching cycling for free

    I made an error in omission there.
    There is a monthly or annual subscription for the Europsport Player.
    I only have a monthly subscription as I only watch the Giro and the Vuelta.

    The Tour is covered well enough on Freeview channels in my opinion.

    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    (assume they'll only do the NI stages).
