Overpaying to view?

Discovery+'s cycling coverage is inexcusably poor considering the 343% price hike, says Liam Cahill

Like many other pro cycling fans, I recently faced a dilemma thanks to the whopping 343% price increase to watch cycling on TV in the UK, following the closure of the Eurosport Player streaming service. For those who don't know, since GCN+ (Global Cycling Network's streaming service) closed at the end of 2023, British cycling fans have been able to watch professional bike racing via Eurosport, Eurosport Player and Discovery+. But now, since Eurosport's recent integration with TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland, potential viewers here face a huge increase in subscription fees, from £6.99 to £30.99 per month.
