I've been using the Eurosport player for a few years, usually get a cheap £20 subscription early in the year for all the spring classics and grand tours. Its been OK streaming to the telly, and easy to watch on the phone if im out - even sat on a roadside in France waiting for Le Tour!

However I got a 6-month extension this year due to covid meaning no racing, so missed the cheap spring deal. Also, the ability to fast forward seems to have disappeared in the last few weeks which is a pain if there's only the whole six hours of a monument to pick up.

Any alternatives which are a bit more useable than the Eurosport player? Happy to pay (a reasonable amount) to get decent coverage / commentary / highlights programmes rather than ripped off chunks a la Steephill.

Eurosport subscriber here - I'm gutted I renewed as GCN+ looks to have the same and more.

That said I seem to have (web app or Android app) ability to skip and pick points in videos to move to.

I'm on GNC+, have used Eurosport in the past. So far, not once has GCN+ spoilered me as I've gone to watch something, nor has it cut away from a crucial last 5km battle to watch rhythmic gynmastics*. It's working for me so far

OTOH, miffed that I can't watch Le Mans easily this year

*other niche sports are available.... on Eurosport
