The Spring Classics are still going strong, with La Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège taking place this week, but stage racing is still on the map thanks to the Tour of the Alps.

With the Giro d'Italia kicking off on May 9, the Tour of the Alps is considered a final warm-up race for many of the maglia rosa pretenders.
There are broadcast options in the UK, USA and Canada, as well as free live streaming options, so read on for all the details on how to watch the Tour of the Alps online, on TV, and from anywhere.

How to watch the Tour of the Alps from anywhere
If you're outside your usual country when the Tour of the Alps is on, you might think you can’t watch the race due to the geo-restrictions most streaming platforms impose. But a VPN is a simple and safe way around this.
A Virtual Private Network is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world. Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock your usual streaming services from anywhere in the world. What's more, it helps with playback speeds and is a huge boost for your general internet security.
There are loads of great VPN options out there, but our colleagues at TechRadar say NordVPN is the best overall for its streaming capabilities, security features, and price.
We test and review VPN services in the context of legal recreational uses. For example: 1. Accessing a service from another country (subject to the terms and conditions of that service). 2. Protecting your online security and strengthening your online privacy when abroad. We do not support or condone the illegal or malicious use of VPN services. Consuming pirated content that is paid-for is neither endorsed nor approved by Future Publishing.
