I agree. But, as noted by @wv_mtnbkr , there are numerous race replays. And I am a retired guy who rises early and could use the motivation to get in more miles.

I don't mind paying for content, but I appreciate paying for only the content I wish to see. In this case, Aug 1st StradaBianca thru Nov 8th VueltaEspaña. And if they offered a 3 month package (Aug/sep/Oct) that's good too, as I could give-up the last week of the Vuelta. I guess one could argue that a FloBikes annual subscription gets me through July2021 so it includes all the Spring events and Classics, GdI and TdF next year.

So I think I've made the decision for FloBikes. Thanks all for your great information/insight.
