First 45 minutes of the highlights on demand was tennis. Then 5km from the end it cut out. Managed to watch it in the end though.
Which channel? We watched the Eurosport afternoon coverage on demand, fastforwarding the tennis at the beginning. Just as the leaders started to manoeuvre with 1 km to go it stopped - unbelievable! We tried watching the following tennis show and it carried on at least until the various GC groups were finished.

On the Eurosport Player there were three options - one the full 4hr30mins playback, one 1hr30mins and one that was a 1hr programme. The 1hr programme had the GC contenders finishing but no interviews/classifications.

It's live. The scheduling changes. That's why Tivo has the ability to record earlier and finish later. But on-demand being fucked up is pretty daft of the channel. Guess they use the same scheduling to cut their on-demand recordings. It's why recording the highlights and the live stage is a handy backup.

One of the weirdest things was everyone forgetting Fausto Masnada was out on his own somewhere between the front two and the chasers.
Poor guy must have been out there by himself for the whole of Mortirolo, all of the descent, and then the ramp up to the finish.
Must have been fucking miserable, and no one even knew he was there. Did he hope to catch the leaders? Did he expect to be caught by the maglia rosa group and just never find them? I hope he is nice and warm now at least.
