I remember a time when we didn't have cycling on TV at all... then we had Tour highlights at night, then we started to get some of the bigger mountain stages live, then we got the whole Tour live and you could tell who was a cycling fan because they were all fucked during July having been up all night watching the racing. :)
Then I moved to the UK and could record that shit on a sky box avoid all you knobbers and twitter and watch it "live" after work.
Now I still don't have Disco+ so I just watched youtube highlights from yesterday like some kind of normie. I feel dirty.

When I first started following professional cycling, you had to wait almost a week to know who'd won the major races when Cycling Weekly would have the results. If you were really lucky one of the broadsheets might have the result on a Monday, but it wasn't guaranteed.
To be able to watch pretty much every professional race live for £6.99 a month to me is an absolute steal.
