Now that the spring classics are done and the Giro is underway it's a good time to revisit how we in Canada can watch some of the amazing racing. The demise of the GCN+ streaming service brought great sadness earlier in the year, but in some ways made things much easier for Canadians (more complicated for Americans).
You can catch brief highlights of some of the major races (for example daily recaps of the Giro stages) on YouTube. For comprehensive coverage of the Giro, Tour de France and many other races including but not limited to road, track, mountain bike, cyclocross, etc. your best bet is FloBikes. In Canada due to our smaller size we're often at a disadvantage compared to our American neighbours. This is a rare exception. Companies bid for the rights to broadcast the races. In the USA there a multiple competing broadcasters. To watch the spring classics, Giro and Tour de France you'd have to subscribe to multiple different services. In Canada it's all on FloBikes. You can watch on your phone, your computer, or your television by casting or using the Flo Sports app.
