Watching La Vuelta
I just realized that my cable service has it on channel 24. No extra fee or subscription. I don't think they have all the stages but it's better than nothing. I just hope they have good commentary!!!!

If that channel is Discovery + then you'll be getting the Eurosport/GCN+ commentary, with pre- and post-race commentaries hosted by the effervescent Orla Chennaoui. She and her usual team, Dan Lloyd and Andrew Blythe, are a lot of fun to watch...it looks like they are having fun, too.

I read the live update on Cycling News website. It's been an interesting race so far.

I just changed to the other side of the pond and am living in Germany.
So Eurosport is part of the standard cable package and therefore I get all all of the stages.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the commentary is in German.
I'll be studying the language while I'm here. Maybe I'll be able to take full advantage of the broadcasts by the time the spring classics come around.

Alles Gute, MinnMan. I hope you survive and thrive the frigid winter, despite the Russian gas nonsense, and are sprechen up a storm come spring.
I'll think of you whenever Orla says "welcome back to our Eurosport viewers..." on the GCN coverage.

Too bad bike racing isn't as popular here in the USA as it should be. I'm stuck keeping myself from accidentally reading spoilers on social media and then watching the extended highlights on youtube.
However, my wife does subscribe to Japan TV, and one of the channels did broadcast the Tour De France... in Japanese. Ii desu na?
