The Tour De France
The Tour de France is nearly upon us, and there are a number of ways to keep informed after each stage. Here’s GCN’s favourite methods of watching cycling’s biggest Grand Tour.
1. France
It may seem obvious, but nothing beats the atmosphere of watching the world’s most prestigious road race in France itself. With entire villages that line the route turning out onto the streets to see the peloton fly by, a great atmosphere is guaranteed. If you are looking to head out at some point in July, we’d advise you to plan ahead. The iconic mountain stages tend to be really busy, so to find a good spot, camp up the mountain the day before and walk to a good vantage point. If you don’t fancy moving around too much, the time trial stages on days 4, 11 and 17 spread the action out over a longer stretch of time, with a rider coming past roughly every couple of minutes.
2. At home
Television companies are always finding revolutionary ways to cover cycling, from helicopters to motorbikes … to er, Segways! The result makes for compulsive watching, offering arguably the best view of the race without even having to leave the sofa. Over 200 channels will be broadcasting some, if not all of the Tour de France this year, so you’ll be hard-pressed not to find it showing on a TV near you.
3. Café
We can’t think of anything better than enjoying a hot or cold beverage with some friend on a hot July afternoon. Bars, cafes, possibly even your local bike shop will be screening the Tour, so keep your eyes peeled. Public places around the world will be turning into the Tour as well, so be sure to have a look around your local area.
4. At work
It’s a bit cheeky, but let’s face it, most of the Tour de France will be going on while many of us are stuck at work or school. Thankfully, the Internet can provide you with a wealth of methods to keep tabs on the day’s racing without rousing suspicion. Pop on some earphones and listen it on the radio, or look at the live coverage on one of huge number cycling-specific websites, and increasingly, on mainstream websites. Many official broadcasters of the Tour around the world offer live streaming online too, and some of you may recognize the commentator’s voice on one particular channel! Just remember to look busy when the boss walks past.
5. On the move
Your mobile phone will be your best friend if you want to keep your eye on the race for the yellow jersey. Twitter is a fantastic way to get an alternative view on the Tour, with many riders tweeting their thoughts after each stage. In terms of live action, there are a variety of apps that offer race results, standings and regular updates while the stage is underway.
Wherever you are right now, you’ve already come to the right place for the best Tour de France coverage.
