Gcn racepass has been rebranded as gcn plus.
Currently offering 50% off, but I don’t think it’ ever reached full price.0 -
Watched on catch up. Sunshine! Back in the day when I was a cog in the corporate machine, a Parisian colleague left to move to a job in the south of France. He wound me up by regaling the fact that he had 330 days of sunshine per annum. Connard.jimmythecuckoo said:It was a decent finish as well.
Nice to see some sun and rugged coastline although the number of members of the public on the course in cars was a worry.

GCN Plus says it will have various documentaries etc.. I don't know whether they would feature on Eurosport.robnewcastle said:

It looks like the Amazon Fire Stick capability that has been long promised will be in this update / new version.0

Yes I’m going to get the fire stick I think. Someone said it was better than chrome cast?jimmythecuckoo said:It looks like the Amazon Fire Stick capability that has been long promised will be in this update / new version.

The Eurosport player has a great picture with the firestick.robnewcastle said:

As do most players to be fair.
I'd keep an eye out for an offer, as Amazon regularly cut their prices."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
It's a good bit of kit. I would just be wary that since GCN Racepass launched they have been promising a Fire app, but as yet nothing.robnewcastle said:

I’ve bought a fire stick. GCN replies to a comment of mine on Facebook as I was asking about GCN on fire stick and they said in a few weeks whether that happens or not.jimmythecuckoo said:

Eurosport picture is very good with firestick, pleased with that purchase. Roll on the racing0

All apps I use are great through Google Chromecast. I've never used a fire stick, so can't compare, but Chromecast does everything I want it to and is spot on for eurosport player."Unfortunately these days a lot of people don’t understand the real quality of a bike" Ernesto Colnago2

I almost bought a chromecast but bought a firestick in the end off some advice (I’m sure both are similar). Main thing is I can now watch on “big telly” and not ipad 👍gsk82 said:All apps I use are great through Google Chromecast.

Here's the GCN race schedule for 2021.
I assume the Eurosport player will have exactly the same, but not sure since the Aussie nationals isn't available, as advertised.

Some noticeable gaps there. Omloop, Gent Wevelgem, Scheldeprjis. Amstel Gold too (has that been postponed already?).blazing_saddles said:Here's the GCN race schedule for 2021.

Dan Lloyd said something today that they hoped to bring Omloop suggesting no deal yet. Maybe he meant the race might not happen.0 -
Lloyd replied to a tweet from me yesterday saying GCN still working on a firestick app for those who have one of those. Not date for completion. Not sure whether that applies to chromecast too1

GCN+ is live... https://plus.globalcyclingnetwork.com/browse
A lot of GCN Originals which is...fine. Along way to go to become Cycling Netflix, but let's see how it goes.We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

Chromecast can cast from pretty much any video app. If there's an Android app for gcn it'll be Chromecast enabledrobnewcastle said:Lloyd replied to a tweet from me yesterday saying GCN still working on a firestick app for those who have one of those.

Dan Lloyd has now confirmed that GCN NOT expected to carry Omloop (and by extension the other races I mention as I presume that they sold as a package by Flanders Classics). I suspect this means not on Eurosport either. I wonder if someone else will pick up or is everybody going to be looking for iffy streams.stage_hunter said:

If eurosport don't have it who else in the UK would? Red Bull TV?stage_hunter said:

Even though I subscribe to Eurosport through Sky I still think GCN+ is pretty good value at £19.99 for the year.
The cycling documentaries look decent plus you also get some smaller road races Eurosport don't show without adverts & Cross races as well.0 -
If neither GCN or Eurosport have coverage then it kind of flies in the UCI's face, with regard to their initiative that to qualify, World Tour races must have international coverage.stage_hunter said:

I don't think Sporza fulfills that criteria."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Omloop wasn't on ES a few years back but sure it has been for the last couple at least. No idea why as an organiser you wouldn't want to get the coverage, even if you have to sell it cheap / give it away.0

Seems that UK Eurosport will have Omloop coverage:

This is getting confusing!
The extra stuff on GCN sounds nice but I have kids and bikes that need riding so I don’t have much time for the docs etc and really just want to watch all the racing.
At the moment I’ve got GCN as I assumed they’d show all the cycling content that Eurosport did. However if Eurosport are showing Omloop in the UK and GCN aren’t then it sounds like I need to go back to Eurosport after all.0 -

Unfortunately, they got Omloop and the UAE tour mixed up.
They have now confirmed that there will be no coverage.

So, I’m either watching the UAE Tour or getting involved with VPNs etc0 -
A quick check of that GCN race schedule above and things become a little clearer. Only one of the races owned by the Flander classics lot appears in their list.
Fortunately, the Ronde van Vlaanderen is still covered, but the following races are missing.
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad
Gent-Wevelgem - In Flanders Fields
Dwars Door Vlaanderen
Scheldeprijs
De Brabantse Pijl.
So as yorkshireraw mentions above, it's returning to as it was a few years back, with a large hole in the Eurosport cycling portfolio."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
Doesn't make sense unless they've seen the rate of GCN+ subscribers going up and have asked for a big chunk of cash.blazing_saddles said:A quick check of that GCN race schedule above and things become a little clearer. Only one of the races owned by the Flander classics lot appears in their list.
