Really annoyed that there's no live coverage of the RideLondon Classique - I'm pretty sure GCN/Eurosport would have more than happily showed it here in the UK (they are in Europe) so to me it reeks of BBC getting dibs on the coverage just to show some late night highlights for two thirds of the race on the red button. Literally no advantage for the race and the sport in it being on the BBC since it will only be people who are actually interested in it watching it at least until Sunday. Frustrating.
Edit: side note - I wonder if one could complete the 230km of the Tour of Norway stage without pedalling? 🤔
