I signed up for the $14.99 Universal Sports on-demand Vuelta coverage over the Internet, and, well, it works… but it’s not anywhere near as polished as the VS TdF stuff on VS. It’s considerably more difficult to find where you need to go (after signing up), not as easy to select stages, and the first couple hours “feature” the same boring guy they use for the TdF coverage before Phil & Paul come on. So maybe the only thing that’s actually similar is the quality of the video feed itself, which is pretty decent.

Locally, the coverage is shown over-the-air on channel 11-3, several times a day. I’ll confess that I rarely watch more than the last hour if it’s a hilly stage, and often only the last 20 minutes if it’s flat.
