So TV can be an investment, pay €80,000 a day for live coverage and you can hope to attract €80,000 a day in extra sponsorship. Great to have you back INRNG.assuming you’d stayed out the Froome/Ineos saga on purpose! Crashes etc. I have a Eurosport season pass, but to access it I need a VPN and to pay for it I had to transfer money to my brother in Ireland and get him to pay as it wouldn’t accept my Australian credit card.GCN Race Pass is available locally in Oz and carries all races except the Tour and some other ASO races for which terrestrial broadcaster SBS has the rights.I just signed up for GCN Race Pass and am very happy so far. My reading of yesterday was Froome won’t be anywhere near Yellow in a month and will be lucky to make the first climbing group if he’s swinging off after 4mins as the forth climber down the Ineos train.
Right now GCN seems to be only on iOS and Android phones, with only the latter being able to properly “cast” itself to a TV. 30.
Dernière Actu. But yes, the extra requirements right now means more costs for organisers too, with more supplies, tests and more.Obviously more coverage is a better thing with possibly more money being channeled into cycling. Both Bardet and … It’s quite odd, I find his manner a little off putting, especially calling Bernal’s attack “thermonuclear” but don’t want to speak negative of a clearly fanatical young cycling fan doing his best and making his way in the world. I don’t know if GCN Race Pass has this – it’s not listed on their UK calendar. It’s on lots of connected TVs, and on devices like the PlayStation 4. There’s a trend for sports channels to go from being general to sport-specific, we should see more of this in the coming years and here GCN can become Eurosport’s dedicated cycling channel, it allows them to reach a dedicated audience, which is valuable.The arrival of the GCN Race Pass is curious in some ways. Otherwise it is downright annoying.I have Eurosport included in my Sky TV package, but still pay for Eurosport Player as it enables me to watch in HD rather than the terrible quality feed from Sky.It’s hard to overstate how technologically behind the times and incompetent i am. If i got rid of Sky and therefore Eurosport I’d be relying on this GCN pass thing, which wouldn’t be too bad if they have the cyclocross. Well, me and the Eurosport programming execs.19 quid for a year’s subscription and no ads? Eurosport however for me wins for road cycling as its on my TV and the live rewind works and on demand is available instantly after broadcast, I work all day so watching live is not normally an option for the grand tours and you can fast forward the ads on demand for the weekend classics etc if you watch an hour behind. the intern babbling in the background over recorded footage)The GCN Race Pass is a great idea and hopefully will only grow.. however there is a big gap depending on what market you’re in. But I’m slightly annoyed to be paying twice for a lot of the same thing. As someone who has a Eurosport Player subscription that’s paid through until late March 2021 (they’ve extended it due to the pandemic), there would seem to be lots of duplication.But GCN does already seem to have races that Eurosport doesn’t. I’m in the US and don’t have a tv, although sometimes I can use the family xfinity account to watch on my iPad, but lots of content is not available streaming. )If so, I wouldn’t expect much racing to be available on GCN and not on Eurosport. I think I paid 20 quid for the coffee round on my last group ride… it’s a steal surely?It’s not a lot of money but Inner Ring’s article is to point out that there may be a whole lot less live racing around in the near future.Agreed that a lesser cost for a specialised sports channel is a consumer benefit of the dispersed media landscape. It comes with my Sky subscription which I pay an extortionate amount for. Also the womens CX races are some of the most competitive and I feared they would go behind the paywall or not be shown at all.

CYCLISME / ROUTE D’OCCITANIE 1ere étape - Saint-Affrique-Cazouls-lès-Béziers (187km) - Samedi 1er août 2020 1- Bryan Coquard (FRA/B&B Hôtels-Vital Concept) en 4h35’00’’ 2 … As a reminder only a few races can sell their rights and even if you could somehow confiscate their revenue to redistribute among the teams backed by billionaires, multinationals and nation states the sums they’d receive would not be sufficient to change pro cycling’s sponsorship model. Meaning, I’m much more likely to pay €10 /month to see cycling or the same for cricket than €40 /month for a load of Premiership or Ligue 1 footie plus the same amount of cycling or cricket.I’ve been like a kid waiting for his friend to get back from a trip out off town!Welcome back all hope you and yours are safe and wellI’d not heard of this GCN race pass, but then I stopped watching the channel on YouTube a while back.
