The official provider is once again Flobikes - as shitty of a company as ever existed.

Even if they weren't so terrible, they charge $210/year, and that's the minimum subscription window.

So VPNs? Restreaming? Or do we just ignore the greatest bike race on earth again?

I'm in the States but I usually watch the extended I recaps on you tube.. it's not ideal but I don't have a better way either. Hopefully someone here has a great alternative

Watching it after the fact is never the same. Sports and elections (bloodsports?) are the two things I want to actually watch live.

Also, in the US you can subscribe to NBC Sports+ or whatever it is for $5/month and watch it. If we had an option like that in Canada, I'd jump at it.

But Flosports charges over three times that price, only does annual subscriptions, provides awful (unwatchable, often literally because their servers crash) coverage, and behaves in the most reprehensible, illegal way possible.

Honestly, cycling fans in Canada are giving up. I might do so as well.
