Lack of highlights on Eurosport player

    Has anyone noticed a lack of highlights available on demand for this cycling season. For example the only on demand for Paris Roubaix is the whole 7hr coverage. No highlights have appeared for tour of Flanders as well as some other recent bits and pieces. I’m pretty sure these were available last season (but open to correction)

    I hope it wont be the same for the giro!

    Select on demand then replay, on pc at the minute haven't checked phone, it's got most of the recent races there from April 10th to now. Pisses me off though you don't get actual highlights just the last hour of the race usually. Their youtube channel has improved though in that regard this year if they have the rights they have an 5 minute package there.

    EDIT: Giro team presentation which isn't on the player that I can see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2q4ondTkO4

    Isn't that what their "highlights" normally is when the Highlights show is on live?

    Only issue I've had is the long standing "on demand" obviously being a timed recording rather than someone manually starting and ending, and missing the end of a race!

    Not always, particularly for the bigger races. The likes of paris-roubaix would have more highlights from some of the earlier cobbled sections.

    They've had the highlights show for the Giro, although from what I've seen, it's generally the last hour or so rather than "highlights".

    So far, most of the highlights have been the last hour

    Seems to be just the last hour so far.

    I also see that they for their new show, the breakaway, that all of the on demand recordings have been cut short!
