Welcome to the GCN show? Is that what you meant??
Sporza and a Duolingo subscription here we come!! Bye bye Eurosport… Appreciate all your efforts…. Understand that the commentators can't comment if they want to keep their jobs.
WB Discovery can do-one… Well done for setting cycling, in the UK, back by decades 😢
Amazing! Rob you’re the best! I’m glad and trust you and the cycling podcast gang can supply us all with the intricate details of races now that the paywall has gone up for cycling! Failing that I’m going Pirate 🏴☠️🤣
And THIS will be the highlight in terms of cycling content for the foreseeable
Ripped off again to watch the cycling it’s bad enough with sky subscription prices, now we have to pay more to watch the classics and the tours.
Yep gone from £6.99 on Discovery + to min. £30.99 = 443% increase… tantamount to theft… when I cancelled I select other as the reason to let them know they are thieves
Nice to have you back Rob Hatch miss the Grupetto 👍🏾🇬🇧
Why have the prices changed Rob?
nice start of season 2025!!
paris roubaix and strade bianche of i am waiting!!
Cancelled my subscription price went from £7 to £31. No racing for me
08:55 I asked myself, "Is that the Premier of Saudi Arabia?!" only to realize it was TOM PIDCOCK lol 😂
TNT have killed cycling coverage, with their stupid pricing decisions
I could watch cycling on the TV in the 80’s , but have to be charged a rip off price now to watch! …. Not a hope in hell, disgraceful 🤬🤯
Amazing. Last year Narvaez came Second, But this 2025 He ended it First, proud Ecuadorian racer, Congrats Ecuador 🇪🇨 👏
Bye bye, won't ever be watching your coverage legally again. Thanks for the memories. Ciao
For someone that claims to be so invested in the future of cycling. Zero from Rob Hatch about the disgraceful change for British cycling fans. Presumably because his bank account benefits. Funny that.
So Glad to see Grupetto bike, congrats all
We get to watch all the great races. For free.
Freaking Brits mad they don’t get stuff for free. Lol we’ve been navigating internet streams bootleg and paid for decades now.
From £29 a year to £84 a year , now £360 a year , these are the price increases in 2 years , u have ruined cycling on tv , sorry I won’t be subscribing
Ben oconor got some massive quads
So after 50years of watching cycling it's now over due to you greedy greedy greedy fat cats, I'm absolutely disgusted with eurosport a channel I have continually watched over the years enjoying all the different fabulous sports they covered from climbing to cycling to skiing and all the others and now you have taken this away from us people who hate football rugby etc etc, great job eurosport 👍👍👍👍
Ps, I noticed you presenters haven't said much about it
After all it's us cycling fans that used to watch you lot
Can we all just agree that GCN+ was the best cycling coverage period and the tour got mad becasue they couldn't get more money? So it died. What a tragedy. You don't have a sport if you can't have the fan base that watches the races. Cycling is more than the Tour!!!!!
You spend so much time on race recaps . Cycling fanatics already know the outcome . And only 16 mins this season ?
Cycling coverage and subscriptions have been an option issue for a while….can someone think of the small man for once….Gcn gone, now a complete rip off !!!!
When did Eurosport start charging to watch cycling? I thought it was just part of the sky package? can someone explain please?
Wont take long for sponsors to realise that no-one is watching anymore and pull out of teams. ASO will also realise soon that eyes on there races will be reduced by 90%
The irony of Eurosport welcoming us to the new season, knowing full well they’re off air in 4 weeks time , forcing viewers elsewhere at huge cost increase. You absolute bunch of leeches.
Glory be the dodgy box
Get over it brits! rest of the world has been on illegal streams for years without paying a penny
What will happen with the Grupetto when Rob Hatch leaves to TNT?
Terrible news about British/Irish cycling coverage. Everyone I ride with myself included has now cancelled subs. Good on Tao for speaking out – why aren’t the other British/Irish pros doing the same!.
Eurosport and the death of cycle racing in the U.K
Great as usual Rob Hatch but no more cycling for me thanks to the greedy rich.
I've been watching the cycling on Eurosport since the 90s and it has now come to an end thanks to the absurd price hike. Rob didn't even mention it😡😡🤬
You have priced yourselves out of future viewers. What young people, and many others can afford the costs TNT have imposed. I'm off to watch Chris Horner's channel. Its brilliant coverage!
