Cycling TV & Tour De France - Options?
I enjoy watching the TDF and know it starts in a few days. I would also like to watch other cycle races.
What options are there for watching cycling on TV in the USA?

Flobikes.com will stream to Canada. Use a VPN and you can watch. FuboTV another option. NBCSports Gold Cycling. All need a subscription. A new play is GCN RaceTV but is limited to outside the US. A VPN will help to solve that.

NBCSports Gold Cycling would probably be the easiest. Should get the Vuelta and some other races too for your money.

I looked at the menu on the NBCSN network, they have the first three stages of the race scheduled to be show, but after Monday they show they are back to regular programming, and will be showing NHL playoffs in the evenings, which will beat out the TDF replays in the evenings. I hope I don't have to purchase a package to see the rest of this race. Does anyone know if this race will be moved to the Olympic channel, another NBC channel?

The paid Gold Package coverage starts generally earlier each day, and has more analysis after, but is not necessary. Check the schedule:

Thanks redcon, apparently Comcast has not updated the menu where I live I guess.

I can watch NBC sports on my Peacock TV network. Can I watch the TDF with NBC sports if I don't subscribe to NBC sports gold ?

As others mention above, sometimes they move stages to NBC (weekend) or to CNBC (conflicts), so you'd need access to those channels too to see that stuff.
One more note is that with NBCSN you'll get the US coverage with NBC commentators, while on Gold / Cycling Pass you'll get the US feed plus the international ad-free broadcast with Australian commentary.

If you have NBC Sports Network you won't need Gold or Cycling Pass to see the NBCSN daily coverage.

I get NBCSN via Sling TV - which wouldn't accept any logins until late in the race today.

This Morning and last It was on TV Via my cable package .. a summary will show again tonight , Sunday..
Broadcast has commercials, your eyes are what they sold to advertisers.. paying for the streaming app they get paid by each viewer..
Live in France is GMT + an hour.. count down timezones to where you live..

I can't imagine it matters what device you use to access Gold Cycling Pass, but I'm on Apple TV.
