I'd rather not watch than pay £31 for 21 days": Just 18% of road.cc readers to watch Tour de France on TNT Sports, as UK fans say farewell to ITV's free-to-air coverage
After 2025 the Tour de France will be broadcast in the UK exclusively on
TNT Sports, requiring a £30.99-a-month subscription and ending the summer tradition of free coverage and highlights on ITV

This year's Tour de France is the end of an era for British cycling fans,
the race's free-to-air coverage to disappear from our screens at the end of July. You'll no doubt be aware by now that Warner Bros. Discovery has
bought the rights to exclusively broadcast the race in the UK via its TNT Sports channels from 2026, meaning fans will need to stump up
£30.99-a-month to watch.

Yet another example of cyclists wanting everything for nothing.

Nothing but "sport" (and not even any sport that's the slightest bit interesting) simultaneously on BBC1, BBC2, ITV1 and Channel 4 earlier today.
Including the chav-bike racing.

Yebbut…yebbut…this is the dedicated cyclists of road.cc not paying to watch
what could be said to be the epitome of their sport. It’s not as if they don’t want to pay to watch Wimbledon!

But... they're right, really.
It isn't worth the £31 a month for a subscription.
Did anyone ever say different?
