Giro d'Italia
The last two stages have produced some interesting results. Definitely worth watching the last 20K or so for both of them.

Agree, I am watching via https://tiz-cycling.io
Oddly, stages after the TT/Prolog don't stream, but rather page links it to a MP4 DL of the full stage. DLed faster than I expected too.

I've just had it on live on SBS in the morning while I work.

We've been watching the daily GCN+ 30-40 minute highlight coverage, but for stage 20, we watched the entire stage, because the first ~125km was over the exact route that we rode when crossing from Italy into Switzerland in 2004. When my wife saw the aerial helicopter shots of the hairpin heaven descent off the San Bernadino Pass, her comment was "if you'd shown me that before we rode it, I would never have agreed to cross the pass".

After seeing it, I can understand her reticence. OTOH, I think it would be fun, as long as the traffic was light.

Nearly all the traffic crossing the San Bernadino Pass uses the parallel motorway, so the old road, which is what we rode and what the Giro used, carries very little traffic. The old road leapfrogs back and forth with the motorway until about half a dozen kilometres from the top of the pass, where the motorway disappears into a tunnel and doesn't re-appear until about the same distance down the other side.
I thought the San Bernadino was the highlight of our tour there. None of the other passes we crossed had such a wonderful array of hairpins.
