Thanks for pointing that out -- I guess I should have realized that (maybe I did at one point). At the very least, then, I wish the UCI would make it EASY to figure out what services I needed to subscribe to in my country to watch which races. Just a page on their website with a big table would be great.

Figuring out that I need to subscribe to GCN+, Peacock, and Flobikes in the US was no small feat (and it changes from year to year!).

Well the UCI is like a mini version of the International Olympic Committee - borderline corrupt, pretty ineffective at anything and barely useful so not astonishing they don't do that.

I suspect the promoters try to keep away from the UCI as much as possible.

There have been a few attempts by the pro-teams to improve the situation via Velon[1][2] - apparently you can get live race data from them - but nothing that has really solved the problem.
