No, just a huge multinational corporation doing what they do.

I hope they don't axe the likes of Le Samyn, Too Bro Leon and other smaller category races. And keep the full cyclocross season. I can live without MTB, track and gravel though they could well probably prioritise those.
There's a few documentaries on GCN+ I need to watch before it shuts - or maybe those will be available on globalcyclingnetwork.com in among the Top Gear wannabe crap.
Finally, I'd willingly pay the extra if they promoted Dan Lloyd and Matt Stephens and sacked Rob Hatch.

Does eurosport have adverts in the coverage? The lack of ads on GCN was a plus

Yeah, the same ones over and over again.

I thought that was just on TV not the player.
It's just £40 a year at the moment which was what I paid for GCN. I thought it was going to be more like £60.

Well yeah, that. Seems to be £6.99/month... So will leave it to the last minute and see where we're at.
What did they do for colour commentators back in the pre-GCN days?

That's twice the price isn't it.. used to be able to get Eurosport for £40 a year..
And with adverts

I don't know if you were being sarcastic when you said you wouldn't want for people to miss it, but I just watched that, and found it incredibly emotional. I'll be honest i actually shed a tear or two. I could have watched an hour of that.I wouldn't want any of you to miss this

Not sure we learn much about Pogi in this ride/interview. He's a young talented cyclist where English isn't his first language.
Lovely to see the azur of the Mediterranean in these dark gloomy days.
The one with Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig is great.

That was great. I went to see him at Wimbledon Theatre in 2019... which he refers to as when he was really fucked up... and it did seem like an odd-evening of reminiscing and real-time therapy.
Hats off to him though. If you liked that you'd probably like the Netflix biopic on Ronnie O'Sullivan 'The Edge of Everything'...

Discovery+ working okay so far. Been watching all the holiday cyclocross mostly on demand. Bad news is that Hatch is back, due to commentate on the New Years Day race; cue a loud "NO, NO, NO" when someone does a mudslide at 10kph. Damn the failed football commentator.
On a positive thought, watching MvdP has been sublime.

Have only just watched it. Interesting and quite sad.

Anyone else been enjoying the holiday cyclocross season? Usually when one rider is so utterly dominant in a sport it becomes a bore but MvdP just looks so serene on his bike while van Aert, Pidcrash and the others have looked wrecked. in their fight to get on the podium.

National CX champs on the telly today if anyone wants to watch. Junior and elite/under 23 races are being streamed on iPlayer, the BBC Sport Scotland page and British Cycling's YouTube channel starting at 9.25. I'll be watching the juniors especially because the current Scottish male champion and last year's U16 British champion was one of our work experience kids this year. Two customers in the elite women's, several in the vets and three in the youth tomorrow too.
