Max and TNT Sports, a division of Warner Bros. Discovery (the same people that own GCN+), have good news for riders looking for cycling coverage in peak trainer season. Starting February 2024, the Bleacher Report Sports Add-On on ‘Max’ will now provide live cycling coverage spanning road, mountain bike, track, BMX, and cyclocross.
The Max streaming service will take over where GCN+ drops off, with over 300 premiere cycling events. US viewers can now stream races like the Giro d’Italia, all UCI Mountain Bike World Series race weekends, UCI Track Champions League rounds, 53 women’s World Tour Pro Series broadcasts, the E3 Saxo Bank Classic, the Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne, and more.
Subscribers can also access “The Breakaway,” offering English-language pre- and post-race coverage. The coverage features insights from cycling experts like two-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador, former World Road Race champion Philippe Gilbert, 17-year ex-pro and fan favorite Jens Voigt, and 24-time Grand Tour stage winner Robbie McEwen.

Update: Read Before Subscribing
Thanks to a tip from Reader Bill H., it seems that the coverage might not be as good as thought. Bill says he and three friends subscribed to Max for cycling coverage, only to find out there are no replays – just live coverage. And if you live in the United States, the time difference with many of the European races could make it a challenge to catch the live events. So if you’re thinking about subscribing, just know that it seems you’ll have to catch the live events in progress without the chance of a replay.
We’ve reached out to Max for more info.
