Tour de France TV rights
European Broadcasting Union and Amaury Sporting Organisation have sorted the rights for:
Men’s: Tour de France, La Vuelta, Paris-Roubaix, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, La Flèche Wallonne, Paris-Nice, Criterium du Dauphiné , Cyclassics Hamburg, Eschborn Frankfurt, Clasica San Sebastian, Paris-Tours, Tro Bro Leon, and Volta Catalunya.
Women’s : Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es, Paris-Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift, Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes and La Flèche Wallonne Femmes.
It's being shown by 13 EBU members, it doesn't look like EBU member ITV have taken an option for the UK but Warner Bros have sublicensed for other European territories.

Re: Tour de France TV rights
This means no more TDF on ITV after 2025. Live coverage or highlights. Shame as the commentary team on ITV4 is far better than on Eurosport.

I think that’s a matter of opinionthe commentary team on ITV4 is far better than on Eurosport.
I believe each source have their own irritations but the insights from David Millar are a top irritant for me.

Re: Tour de France TV rights
Agreed.
(SURELY Carlton Kirby is many times more irritating than DMillar? And Kirby is the main talker, at least Millar is just the "pundit" so he's not jibbering over 80% of the airtime. I actually mostly like Millar, but appreciate he's a bit marmite for some reason ...
Rob Hatch seems well informed, and does good podcast - but he's a really poor commentator IMO. Just nowhere near as bad as Kirby!!!)
Re: Tour de France TV rights
We may still get free to air highlights on Quest, which is owned by Discovery. It will just be the same highlights programme that gets shown on Eurosport with Orla and Co.

In any case, with Pog crushing the field the TdF Femmes will be much more interesting.
Have we got time for another cuppa?

Re: Tour de France TV rights
I find the ITV highlights to be far better produced than the ones on Quest, which just seem to be a short clip from the start of the race then skip to the last 25 mins. The ITV highlights show a lot more incidents from throughout the race and then also have the short documentary pieces on history, technology, geography etc. I hate the stupid CGI studio on Quest too.

I'm always fascinated by Orla's choice of footwear, often completely at odds with the rest of her wardrobe
Re: Tour de France TV rights
I usually watch the Tours on Eurosport because "no adverts". (£3.99 / month)
Guarantee something will happen when the Ad's are on which ITV have.
Unfortunately now that Eurosport has gone to Discovery I will probably unsubscribe if the price goes up come next year.
So I will be looking for an alternative if this happens.

Re: Tour de France TV rights
It’s not ad-free if you’re watching the highlights sadly - you can fast forward through the ad breaks but it’s an unnecessary faff.
