So that's great, except that it's not all the races, due to licensing: we got Tirreno-Adriatico, not the simultaneous Paris-Nice. I think what is going on is that NBC has the US rights for races under the Amaury umbrella.
I've struck out with any friends who might have a UK credit card adn would be willing to subscribe to Disc+ there on my behalf. So I think we'll see how Max goes, how $ it is when subscription becomes mandatory, and (sigh) maybe pony up for Peacock for the (mostly) French races. I don't have anything against Bob Roll or Christian VdV, but boy that commentary pales in comparison.
Peacock has the Volta a Catalunya now and its Ant Mcrossan and his linguistic gymnastics.
