Scott Young, EVP at WBD Sports Europe, said: “Cycling is part of our DNA and for more than 35 years, no other broadcaster has done more to bring the stories, strategy and emotion of the Tour de France to fans across Europe. That heritage matters because this is a sport built on knowledge, trust and passion, and our coverage is shaped by people who live and breathe cycling all year round.
“With every stage of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes available on HBO Max, Eurosport and TNT Sports, we are combining decades of cycling expertise with new product innovations that give fans more control, more context and more ways to follow every decisive moment. From the streets of Barcelona, to the peaks of Switzerland and Alpe d’Huez, to the southern shores of the French Riviera and everywhere in between, we will offer the most immersive and authentic cycling experience while showcasing the entirety of the men’s and women’s Tour de France for the widest possible audience.”
Supporting the live coverage and cycling content, Eurosport and TNT Sports’ web, app and social platforms will feature highlights, interviews, behind-the-scenes content and additional stories as the stages unfold. A range of special guest pundits will join WBD’s on-air commentary team.
