Best Sports Channel(s) for Cycling Events?
What are the best sports cable channels for cycling events today?
I understand that NBC Sports bought Universal Sports or Versus or something
like that. Anyway, just looking for who I should consider subscribing to.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Versus is pretty much the only one where I've caught cycling events in recent years.

Versus is now NBC Sports I believe. Cycling schedule here. https://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/424535...ports-cycling/ . I've never seen cycling anywhere else.

A couple of sites that stream coverage over the web and also contain highlight packages that you might consider:
https://www.cycling.tv/SportSelect.db...5&SPSID=104955
A subscription is required for cycling.tv for live coverage - I see they haven't announced the 2012 schedule yet but last year they covered most events live except the tdf
https://www.steephill.tv/
Steephill is a great site for news/results/photos and list various channels to catch live races as well as links to many of them - I can usually find a eurosport english feed for most races there but occasionally have to settle for foreign language feeds.

Also a shame that not many of these sites have apps, disappointing to see.

I bought the NBC subscription for the tour last year
unfortunately they did'nt make it clear until you had already bought the subscription that there was video available for people outside of the US
I found a way around it (proxy) but make sure if you buy a subscription online they cover the races you're interested in and it will work in your country
