    I really liked watching the Volta Valenciana last year, it usually has a nice course. I couldn’t find it anywhere this year except for the usual black-market places and some probably bootlegged French- or Spanish-language highlights on YouTube. It’s a shame, it’s a good race and deserves better coverage. I’m really feeling the loss of GCN+.

        Ah, that’s probably where I could get it in the U.S., but I’ve resisted subscribing to the service that charges 3x what GCN+ cost for fewer races, and I don’t like what David Zaslav has done to the company, chopping it up for parts, trying to kill TCM, and trying to turn CNN into a right-leaning Fox News lite.
