Yeh was gutted C4 quickly ended the show and SJ had to promote Humans! Had to switch over to the sky offering instead.

I understood what was going on. In their defence the race overran so they didn't have as much time to edit it together.

Race coverage was good - I'd rather they show more of the race and not include the podium - you can catch up on that stuff afterwards on their website:

We booked a City-Break during the summer, without checking the date of the final race. The flight is due to land, 10mins after the start.

As the reality approaches, please can someone say what time the C4 catchup service is likely to become available to view?

Thanks

Can't you set it to record? That way you can watch it when you get in without having to risk navigating the internet and seeing the result - although we pretty much know already anyway!

I arrive in Vienna 10 mins after start, so won't be in a position to watch TV, until after the race has finished. So I was wondering about streaming to my iPad sometime later, on Sunday. I have VPN.

I will set up record at home, just in case, but I know that I will know everything before I get home next Thursday.

If you watch via VPN remember to change the time on your device (some sites do check this)

If you can avoid the internet until Monday morning that would be safest, get the 4od app installed now and cross fingers ...

Assuming you're on UK time it's 1PM for the race start, although build up coverage starts at Midday.

It's also good to see that C4 have sensibly slated an extended slot for the coverage that runs until circa 4.45PM so at least they wont finish the season with a 15 minute review like a few previous races.

I get the impression that watching race highlights at midnight CET is probably the only practical option.
