It's happened me a few times, if I kill the app and restart it works as normal again. Sometimes I've had to do so a couple of times in quick succession which is not ideal.

Ya. It's a bit of a pain. I just DM'd them on Twitter so lets see the response

Anyone having difficulty with this?
For the last two days whatever race I click on its just coming up with a red screen
with the race details.

EDIT:
Sorted by logging out of the app AND on the laptop and logging back in.

Is this any better now as a matter of interest? I've toying with the idea of either this or the eurosport app. 39.99 for gcn sounds dear when the same price gets you a year's eurosport which includes more cycling than I could ever watch. And if the GCN app is glitchy and patchy...

Can't speak for the GCN app I've stuck with eurosport, exact same content in terms of racing and you have access to everything else too.

Heads up theres racing today on the road just gone live so I'll have an eye on that in the background on the laptop while the CX is on cast to the TV

Grand Prix de Marseillaise.

CX World Championships are also on.(Men's elite race on shortly)

GP Marseillaise, 1.1 race but 7 world tour teams there after the Spanish races were cancelled.

We already have eurosport 1 and 2 through virgin media so it's a bit of an extravagance to pay 40 quid for any app. It is a bit baffling that a world champs (cx) event is shuffled towards the back of the deck on the two channels though.

And the startlist

On the CX I think BBC have it on the iplayer and red button

The prize giving for the GP de Marseille is hilarious... it's like The Price is Right with all the random prizes the winner is getting

How much is the annual racepass at the minute?

40 quid. Can pay using phone credit too if you have that option.

3 lifted the 30 a month spending limit at some point last year.

Paid for it using phone credit for the TDF last year, worth every cent & will renew even if only used for live coverage.

There was a small cuddly toy in the shape of a cycling jersey with the name of a race sponsor on it. That sponsor also happens to sponsor a World Tour team, but not the one that the winner rides for

Was submitting my bills to revenue to claim the credits for working from home and was tempted to send in my Eurosport sub

Serious value for money when the racing is on mid week and you watch it live working at home.

Works out less than €1 a week and I've been renewing the last 3 years and they still charge me the "legacy" rate as it's called on the invoice of 29.99

There was a few nights there was nothing on and we didn't fancy a film or starting a TV series we watched snooker and herself enjoys the winter sports and tennis so she got to see the French Open etc.

GCN have 'launched' GCN+

Are we lumped in with the UK for this or Rest of the world?

Checks app, yeah if you already have racepass you'll be moved over to GCN+ it looks like a rebrand with some additional content being added.

bought it for the cx and reaping the bonus wfh today with racing on in the background, 4km left

Tour de la provence

fat bloke

I just signed up as well and caught the end of that tour de Provence. Coverage looks great and he web player is the same as eurosport one.

Impressively comprehensive back catalogue of races too from last year. It's great value for 20 quid in fairness.

I don't mean to sound cynical, but there's actually been less cycling on Eurosport since they introduced the RacePass platform. Certainly for the CX season. Last year, you would have gotten most of the races live on a Saturday or Sunday, this year even the World Champs only got a 30 minutes of highlights for the mens, and nothing for the womens. I expect to see more of that this year, that apart from the monuments and GTs having some live coverage, everything else will be highlight packages a few days after the fact.

But I signed up anyway, just to prove to Eurosport that their strategy is working.

PS, the Tour De La Provence coverage is excellent, which is more than can be said for the weather down there today.

The 50% off deal sounds good at the moment.

Anybody know if you can cast it to a firestick
