TV Coverage

[alock]

For the last few years, I've enjoyed the TV coverage of the TDF and would like to start watching some of the other races. The obvious option is a Eurosport subscription but I'm struggling to see what you actually get for your money.

I work a typical office job so cannot watch live coverage. I would also struggle to find the time to stream the full coverage later so ideally want a 1-2 hour highlights program every evening available to stream at any time later in the day. Something similar to what Channel 4 offer for F1 would be perfect.

Do Eurosport offer a highlights program and if they do, what do people think of it?

I'm struggling to understand what each listed program contains? If I use the link and look at their schedule for stage 5 of the Tour of Catalunya, I get the following options over today and tomorrow. None of this is long enough for full live coverage of 212km. Is it coming in and out of live coverage or are they all highlight shows?

My guess is that the 3 x 1 hours shows after 11pm are the same show and it's highlights of the entire stage?

The 3 earlier shows are maybe live coverage mixed with highlights of what's happened since the last live coverage?

I often wonder if I over think things like this and should just sign up anyway
