GCN+, the live streaming service of the Global Cycling Network, is set to close on December 19, leaving cycling fans disappointed. The popular service had become a go-to source for live coverage of various cycling events, including the Tour de France. Subscribers will now be directed to other platforms such as discovery+, Eurosport, or Eurosport Extra for their live coverage needs. This decision comes as part of a consolidation effort by Warner Bros. Discovery, the new corporate owners of GCN+. Despite the closure of the service, GCN will continue with its website and social media channels.

The closure of GCN+ is a big blow to cycling fans who have relied on the service for live coverage of major races. With the shutting down of the app, subscribers will have to find alternative platforms for their cycling content. Although they will be directed to other services such as discovery+, Eurosport, or Eurosport Extra, it may not provide the same convenience and experience that GCN+ offered. It remains to be seen whether these alternative platforms will be able to fill the void left by the closure of GCN+.
