So what's currently the best to watch the most content in Europe? GCN+ was great and had alot of coverage. Should I just go ahead and get Discovery+ or Eurosport?

I just bought a month of flobikes, but can't get it to work on any of the expressVPN servers in the USA or Canada, anyone found a way to bypass the geoblocking ?

I am really hoping that at some point, services like Max and Discovery force Flo Sports out of the cycling segment. As for your question about geoblocking, I am guessing you are asking about the viewing content on Flo's website - How to change your browser location in Chrome and Firefox (spoof your geo-location)
If you are casting from your phone to a smart tv, then the app iuses your phones actual location so not sure how to deal with that.

Still haven't rec'd my refund from GCN.

Anyone rec'd theirs ?
Well finally, some action.

As my subscription was via the Apple Store, it was up to Apple to provide the refund. I finally got a message yesterday that I'll get my credit, but it may take up to 30 days to get it ....

Talsk about slow - :unbelievable:

It seems both from my phone and website, Flo is banning IP's of my VPN. I finally managed to get through the geoblocking on one of the canadian servers, then after a few minutes I had an error message saying the IP was banned. I'll never understand why those services but so much efforts into Geoblock... What entices them to do so, they're just losing customers to it. GCN+ gave 0 *f##k* about it, any server I'd connect to what enough to bypass Geoblocking..

I suspect this has to do with things like the penalties associated with violating various digital content laws in those countries. I know the EU has much more stringent laws and very stiff penalties in regards to enforcing digital content rights, and would suspect that Canada does as well.
