    Highlights

    A daily one-hour highlights programme will be broadcast on free-to-air channel Quest at 7pm. It’s a Eurosport production and seems to be of a different production standard each year. I wouldn’t want to venture a guess what it’ll be like this time around. The good news is that Quest is available on Freeview and most of the other UK TV platforms, so there’s a good chance that you’ll be able to get it.

    If you go down the Eurosport Player option, full stages and highlights will be available on-demand.

    I saw something yesterday saying the GCN+ Giro coverage now included on Apple TV? also on Disney? Not sure how it all works.

    Someone (on here? on twitter?) suggested that maybe Eurosport player being phased out?

    Anyone else understand better than me? I'll do pretty much anything to avoid the really dire Eurosport adverts.

    I haven't seen anything saying GCN+ is included on Apple TV, instead it looks like the GCN+ app is available on Apple TV from tomorrow*. That would mean you still have to buy a subscription. However buying a subscription will definitely let you watch all their coverage ad free on any supported platform.

    Based on Dan Lloyds tweet: https://twitter.com/daniellloyd1/status/1521172811213070336

    Any word on Girmay’s eye? Nasty Prosecco injury.

    also provides useful reminder of how to pronounce Ghirmay (rhymes with eye).

    Really hoping he is okay.

    @gembo picture here looks much less worrying - a bruise on his nosed no eye patch. hopefully the team was being over cautious.

    https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/sport

    Free-to-air online TV with live English-language commentary, plus a highlights show, if you use a VPN and can locate it in Australia (or if you live in Aus...)

    rotating mix of characters alongside the commentators - Mark Renshaw, Robbie McEwan, sometimes even Ned.

    Is there an easy way to tell if a rider is still in? I know the main ones but my obscure 8 point picks are hard to keep track of.

    I had Jefferson Cepeda last year and he scored no points all the way round. Then withdrew on the last day. Mental.
