On Eurosport now - the season's underway. Pro level gravel biking so right on topic too.

Fab scenery, I love Tuscany

Don't suppose there is anywhere other than Eurosport to watch it is there?

It's on the GCN app too, which I'm fairly sure won't help.

I gather the Eurosport feed is down at the moment, but GCN just shows the ES feed without ads.

I have Eurosport but signed up for GCN yesterday for races ES are not showing. Good thing I did by the sound of it. I've watched a superb women's race and now getting the men's courtesy of GCN.

Have GCN just done a short feature on ladies stockings?

I'm coming to the end of my Eurosport player sub, so signed up to the half price GCN race pass mainly to watch the women's race. Nice to get the feeds without adverts.

WVA is my pick from this lot. Great to have something to doze off to on a Saturday afternoon again.

Things I haven't missed: Carlton Kirby's inane babble. Great to see some cycling though!

It was a lovely Saturday. 5hr ride in the morning then feet up watching racing in the afternoon. Proper weekend feeling.

GCN does race coverage now? What's it like?

They've been my go-to for all cyclocross racing, can't fault the coverage in any way other than a specific couple of races they can't cover due to rights issues of some sort.

That was a good race. Got to catchup with the women’s race still (though the result was plastered all over my twitter feed).

Aren’t GCN and Eurosport all the same org now?

Eurosport's parent company bought GCN.

really enjoyed that race. I also got to learn on many occasions that WVA rode cyclo-cross and is a good bike handler because of that. I'd almost missed Carlton Kirby and his fixations for a while 😂

Who commentates on the GCN App?

Depends on the race, but for Strade Bianche men's race it was Carlton Kirby and Brian Smith.

Yeah I had the feeling WVA rode in another discipline but don't think they covered it.

Not having Eurosport or GCN, anyone doing a nice length highlights show?

cheers @beej
Although we all love to hate Carlton I’ve still missed his inane ramblings as they meant there was racing.
