THE TOUR DE FRANCE IN DENMARK: THE YELLOW FEVER

The northernmost Grand Départ of the Tour de France led to a popular craze that exceeded all expectations. From the teams’ presentation in the heart of Copenhagen to the finish of stage 3 in Sonderborg, the riders were treated to a noisy, warm and respectful honor hedge of more than 400 kilometers. The Danish television channel TV2 recorded an average market share of 78% during the first three stages. Never seen before!  

The tears of Jonas Vingegaard, touched by the welcome he received in the Tivoli theme park, are already part of the iconography of the 2022 Tour de France. Spectators who did not have the privilege of being among the 15,000 present for the teams’ presentation then flocked to the sidewalks of Copenhagen, defying the rain that watered the time trial in the heart of the capital on Friday afternoon. They were even more numerous to witness the conquest of the polka-dot jersey by Magnus Cort between Roskilde and Nyborg, then to greet their new national hero, who escaped alone towards Sonderborg. About two million Danes travelled to watch the race during this unprecedented sequence, out of a total population of around six million.But what did the Danes who didn’t attend the Tour de France between 1st and 3rd July do? The figures published by the national channel TV2 indicate that they have largely followed the stages of the Tour in front of their screens, since the market shares reached up to 86% of the people who turned on their television. A peak of 1,100,000 viewers was even recorded for the finish in Sonderborg, just before Dylan Groenewegen’s sprint victory. A way to greet the peloton massively before flying to the French territory.

  Frederik Lauesen, Head of Sports at TV2 Denmark:

“It has been a fairytale for us at TV2 Denmark to experience and to cover the Tour de France’s visit in Denmark. We know that the Danish people love the tour, but the incredible interest from the team presentation in Tivoli Gardens to the stages in our country has after all surprised us in a very positive way. The Danish people have shown their love for the Tour in a way, we would never dream of. The images of the streets and roads full of enthusiastic crowds literally all the way from start to finish will remain with us forever. This was a once in a lifetime experience in many ways and we are equally proud and humble at TV 2 to have played our part in this. We will forever be thankful to the Tour de France and the passionate people who worked hard to make this happen”

“The viewing figures are extremely high, and we are very pleased. It is safe to say that a great number of the Danish people has taken part in this fantastic event and enjoyed the visit of the world greatest cycling race either along the streets or on our platforms.”

  Julien Goupil, Head of medias and partnerships at A.S.O.:

“It was absolutely fantastic to see such a big Danish crowd. The audiences of TV2, historical partner of the Tour (since 1989) are absolutely exceptional and confirm our desire to make the Tour de France accessible to as many people as possible by broadcasting it on free-to-air generalist channels in Europe thanks to the partnership established with Eurovision Sport. These impressive results in terms of audience concern both the broadcast of the live feed of the first three stages and the traffic on TV2’s digital platforms, which has quadrupled. More than ever, the race has attracted crowds, either on the roadsides or in front   of TV. A market share of 78% on average… Never seen before!”

Key numbers:

- During the first three days of the Tour de France, TV2/TV2 PLAY has been in contact with 2,362,000 Danes across stages and studio broadcasts. That’s almost a doubling compared to the interest we saw for the Tour’s first three days last year.

- The first three stages are seen by an average of 767,000 Danes (viewer shares from 72 percent to 86 percent) and at the 3rd stage - at the end of the route - the number of viewers peaks with 1,095,000 Danes who follow the final sprint through Sønderborg.

- The stages are the most viewed 1-3. stages ever, and for all Tour stages, we need to look back more than 10 years to find similar levels.

- On TV2.DK & apps, the interest is also overwhelming, with the first three days of the Tour de France content showing a quadrupling of traffic compared to previous years.

Tour de France - Højdepunkter

21. jul. 2024 • 21. etape - med podieceremoni og reaktioner.

TV 2 går i gult

Verdens største cykelløb, Tour de France, bliver skudt i gang i Danmark. TV 2 er med hele vejen - fra København til Paris. Se med fra 27. juni 2022.

År 2022 bliver et helt unikt år i danmarkshistorien. For første gang nogensinde er der Tour de France-start i Danmark, og ikke mindre end tre etaper af verdens største cykelløb bliver kørt i verdens bedste cykelland. Det bliver en fantastisk cykel- og folkefest, hvor tilskuerne vil strømme til og fylde de danske gader og veje med røde, hvide og gule farver. I 33 år har danskerne kunnet se med fra Tour de France på TV 2 og i anledning af det historiske år, kan danskerne glæde sig til mere Tour de France end nogensinde før på TV 2 PLAY og TV 2.

Historisk stort Tour de France på TV 2 Udover livesending fra alle etaper, kan danskerne se frem til daglige studieprogrammer med bl.a. Stine Bjerre Mortensen og Thomas Kristensen i 'Touren i Danmark' og 'Tour de France-studiet', glædeligt gensyn med Rasmus Staghøj og Lars Bak i ’AftenTour’ og særudgaver af ’Rolf & Ritter på Tour’, hvor det velkendte kommentatorpar bl.a. tester etapen i København med kronprins Frederik. Dertil sendes mindeprogrammet om Chris Anker Sørensen ’Hele Danmarks Chris Anker’.

Også TV 2 NYHEDERNE, TV 2 Regionerne, 'Go' morgen Danmark' og sporten.tv2.dk vil summe af de største og vigtigste historier om Tour De France. Et højdepunkt bliver Tour de France-holdpræsentationen i Tivoli i København 29. juni, hvor Dennis Ritter og Stine Bjerre Mortensen skal stå i front, når TV 2 sammen med Grand Depart transmitterer begivenheden til hele verden 29. juni.

- Vi har et historisk Tour de France foran os, og vi har kæmpe ambitioner om at give danskerne den ultimative Tour-oplevelse på TV 2 PLAY. Der er ingen tvivl om, at dækningen i år bliver vores største dækning af Tour de France nogensinde, siger Frederik Lauesen, sportschef på TV 2. Han fortsætter:

- Alle vores dygtige cykelfolk har glædet sig til dette øjeblik, og vi har samlet et suverænt tour-hold, hvor alle er klar til at bringe danskerne helt tæt på alt, hvad der rører sig i og omkring cykelløbet, siger Frederik Lauesen.

Stine Bjerre Mortensen og Dennis Ritter er værter ved holdpræsentationen To dage før Tour de France starter i København 1. juli er der holdpræsentation, hvor de enkelte hold og ryttere vil blive præsenteret. Det er en begivenhed, som TV 2 producerer i samarbejde med STV og Grand Depart.

- Det store startskud lyder, når vores værter Stine Bjerre og Dennis Ritter byder rytterne og seere fra hele verden velkommen til holdpræsentationen, som bliver sendt direkte fra Tivoli i hjertet af vores smukke hovedstad. Derefter følger det, som det hele handler om, nemlig cykelløbet og de tre historiske etaper gennem store dele af vores dejlige land. Jeg er sikker på, at det bliver en uforglemmelig oplevelse for alle danskere, siger Frederik Lauesen.

Tour de France er kæmpestort i Danmark Sommer, TV 2 og Tour de France hænger sammen, for lige siden 1989 har TV 2 dækket den store franske rundtur. Det startede med et resumé af dagens etaper, og 8.juli 1990 sendte TV 2 Tour de France for første gang live. Gennem årene er Tour de France blevet en ikonisk begivenhed, vi samler os om, og for mange danskere er der ingen sommer uden Tour de France. Danmark er i dag det land, der har den største seerandel i verden, når Tour de France bliver sendt.

- Store dele af Danmark vil snart stå klædt i gult, og det er fantastisk at være vidne til de mange initiativer og tiltag, som danskerne tager i anledning af, at touren kommer til vores land. Den opbakning gør mig stolt, og det viser igen, hvordan sport evner at samle os i et fællesskab på tværs af hele landet. Og i år bliver den største årgang af dem alle - på vores hjemmebane - og det skal vi fejre i fællesskab, siger Frederik Lausen.

TV 2 stiller i stærkeste opstilling Det historiske Tour de France i år bliver dækket af et stærkt hold på TV 2 PLAY og TV 2 - med både nye og gamle ansigter. De nye ansigter skal blandt andet ses i lyset af, at den mangeårige cykelrytter og -ekspert Chris Anker Sørensen sidste år mistede livet i en ulykke. Stine Bjerre Mortensen er vært i 'Touren i Danmark'-programmerne i dagene op til Tour de France starter. Efter løbsstart tager Thomas Kristensen over, og han er vært på de resterende 'Touren i Danmark'-programmer samt på 'Tour de France-studiet', når løbet kommer til Frankrig. Rasmus Staghøj er vært på de sene 'Touren i Danmark'-programmer, de aftener løbet bliver kørt i Danmark. Efter Touren er kommet til Frankrig er han vært på 'AftenTour'.

Dennis Ritter og Rolf Sørensen er faste kommentatorer på etaperne, og undervejs får de selskab af bl.a. den tidligere cykelrytter Lars Bak, sportsdirektør på Team ColoQuick Christian Moberg, landstræner Anders Lund og Riwal-rytteren Emil Vinjebo. Lars Bak er også fast ekspert i 'AftenTour', mens Moberg og Vinjebo er med i Tour-studierne. Desuden er forfatter og journalist Henrik Jul Hansen er med i studie-programmerne i Danmark.

Det kan seerne glæde sig til på TV 2 PLAY og TV 2 Udover alle etaperne live, studie-programmer før og efter etaperne, 'AftenTour' osv., er der masser af ekstraprogrammer i år på TV 2 PLAY og TV 2, som seerne kan se frem til, bl.a.:

Holdpræsentation På TV 2 PLAY og TV 2 29.6 kl. 18.30 Danmark byder velkommen til verdens største cykelløb, Tour de France, når der 1. juli er Grand Depart i København. TV 2s Stine Bjerre Mortensen og Dennis Ritter er værter for begivenheden i Tivoli, hvor holdene bliver præsenteret. Holdudtagelsen bliver produceret af TV 2 og sendt live til masser af lande verden over.

Rolf & Ritter på Tour - med kronprinsen På TV 2 PLAY fra 26.6 og på TV 2 8.6 kl. 20.50 Rolf og Ritter tester hvert år udvalgte Tour de France-etaper i Frankrig. Men som noget helt særligt i år prøvekører de tre af etaperne i Danmark. På den første etape får de får de selskab af kronprins Frederik, der viser dem et sted i København, som betyder meget for ham. Det er selvfølgelig Vor Frue Kirke, hvor han blev gift med sin kronprinsesse Mary. Efter de tre etaper i Danmark går turen videre til Frankrig, hvor duoen på vanlig vis tager turen op af nogle af årets hårde bjerge. Der er i alt seks programmer i den nye sæson af 'Rolf & Ritter på Tour', og det er i premiereprogrammet, at de prøvekører den første etape med kronprins Frederik.

Hele Danmarks Chris Anker På TV 2 PLAY fra 27.6 og på TV 2 4.7 kl. 20.50. Mindeprogram. 18. september 2021 døde den folkekære cykelrytter og tv-kommentator Chris Anker Sørensen i en trafikulykke.

I dette program fortæller familie, venner, kolleger og almindelige danskere, hvorfor han blev 'Hele Danmarks Chris Anker'.

’AftenTour’ Hver aften på TV 2 PLAY og TV 2 fra 5. juli Rasmus Staghøj og Lars Bak ser nærmere på dagens begivenheder i Tour de France. Hvad var de vigtigste hændelser på dagens etape - og hvad er der i vente de næste dage? De får også sidste nyt, analyser og reportager fra TV 2s kommentatorer og journalister.

How to watch Tour de France: Live stream final stages free from anywhere

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

The 111th Tour de France is almost over, with just two stages left in the competition. We've compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Tour de France, including global free streaming options for the 2024 race.

The race kicked off in Italy this year before heading to France, where the cyclists are finishing up the final few stages of the lengthy competition. The winner, the rider with the shortest combined times after completing all 21 stages, will be crowned on July 21. In a massive shake-up from tradition, the race will conclude in Nice rather than Paris. And rather than a leisurely final stage, the competitors will duke it out in one last time trial. This could give the opportunity for a potential last-minute upset, depending on how close the competition is going into Stage 21.

Slovenian cyclist Tadej Pogacar is currently in the lead. Pogacar won the Tour de France in 2020 and 2021, but Danish cyclist Jonas Vingegaard was the victor in 2022 and 2023. Vingegaard, who suffered a major crash earlier this year that left him hospitalized, has held his own in the race and has sped past Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel to the no. 2 general ranking. The next two days will see if Vingegaard can make up the time and beat Pogacar or if the latter can pull off a second Grand Tour win this year after his victory at the Giro d'Italia in May.

Below, we've outlined all of the ways you can live stream the Tour de France. We'll keep this page updated with start times for every stage of the tournament.

Watch tour de france 2024: preview.

It is time for the second Grand Tour of the year and, for most cycling fans, the Tour de France 2024, is the big one. However, there is some shift from tradition this year. The Grand Départ is in Florence and the finish in Nice, not Paris.

It's Tadej Pogacar who they'll all be trying to keep pace with though. The Slovenian has already won the Giro d’Italia this season. Can he become the first rider to do the double since Marco Pantani in 1998?

Tour de France TV channel, start time and how to watch stage one online today

The Tour de France promises plenty of intriguing with a peloton packed with storylines battles across three weeks of racing.

For the first time, the Grand Tour will begin in Italy, with Florence hosting the Grand Depart and San Marino becoming the 14th country to be visited by a stage.

The finish to the race will look rather different, too, as a time trial in Nice replaces the traditional Champs-Elysees sprint due to the ongoing preparations for Paris 2024.

The individual time trial will be the first to conclude the Tour since 1989, when Greg LeMond memorably pipped Laurent Fignon in the closest edition in history.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the 2024 Tour de France.

When is the Tour de France?

The 2024 Tour de France will be held between June 29 and July 21 and consist of 21 stages, with two rest days included in the itinerary. The race will not finish in (or near) Paris for the first time since its inception as Nice is instead utilised — the French capital is out of action due to the Olympics later this summer.

Where is the Grand Depart?

The Grand Depart will be held in Italy for the first time, with Florence in Tuscany selected to begin the route. Stage 1 will finish in the coastal resort of Rimini, while the next three stages will also begin in Italy before the race crosses the border.

How long is the Tour?

In all, the peloton will cover 3,492km (2,170 miles) across 21 days of racing. Stage 3 (Piacenza to Turin) is the longest stage at 229km (142 miles), while the 133 km (83 miles) route on Stage 20 (Nice to Col de La Couillole) is the shortest road stage. There are two individual time trials: Stage 7 is 25km (16 miles), and the final stage from Monaco to Nice will be contested over 34km (21 miles).

How can I watch it?

Viewers in the United Kingdom will again have the choice of two broadcasters. ITV will provide free coverage on ITV4 and ITVX, while the Tour de France will also be available to subscribers on Eurosport and discovery+.

Eurosport’s coverage of the opening stage begins at 10.30am BST on Saturday 29 June, while ITV viewers can tune in from 10.45am.

If you’re travelling abroad and want to watch major sporting events, you might need a VPN to unblock your streaming app. Our VPN round-up is here to help and includes deals on VPNs in the market. Viewers using a VPN need to make sure that they comply with any local regulations where they are, and also with the terms of their service provider.

Who are the favourites for victory?

There are set to be four main contenders for general classification victory, though each of the quartet arrives with significant questions about their readiness for the year’s second Grand Tour. Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) will seek a three-peat but has not raced since sustaining a broken collarborne and other injuries in a serious crash at the Tour of the Basque Country in April.

Primoz Roglic (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) were also injured in the incident, though the pair returned to racing at the recent Criterium du Dauphine as Roglic took overall victory.

Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) meanwhile enters attempting a Giro-Tour double having secured the maglia rosa in Italy earlier this year — no male rider has won both races in a single season this century.

After a thrilling race in 2023 (documented in Netflix’ s Tour de France: Unchained season 2 ) the Tour de France 2024 marks the 111th iteration of the cycling race that features 21 stages over the course of 23 days. However, this year is going to be a bit different because the Summer Olympics is set to begin in Paris just days after the Tour de France is scheduled to end, so the French capital is not serving as the location of a stage for the first time in the race's history. But many of the world's best cyclists are still set to compete in a true endurance test, including two-time defending champion Jonas Vingegaard.

Without further ado, here is everything you need to know about how to watch the Tour de France 2024.

Tour de France, Stage 2: Start time, TV channel, live stream, course map, favorites to win

We break down everything you need to know for Stage 2 of the 2022 Tour de France. We’ve got how to watch and what is up for grabs.

The Tour de France got underway on Friday with a time trial and returns with the first run of the full peloton. Stage 2 will run from Roskilde to Nyborg in Denmark as the Tour continues its first-ever three-stage run through the Scandinavian country. The stage gets started at 6 a.m. ET and will air on USA Network. If you don’t feel like getting up that early, you can re-watch it at 1 p.m. on NBC.

Yves Lampaert heads into the second stage wearing the yellow jersey. He won Friday’s time trial with a time of 15 minutes, 17 seconds. Wout van Aert finished five seconds back in second place and pre-race overall favorite Tadej Pogačar finished seven seconds back in third place.

Stage 2 runs 202.2 kilometers and is a fairly flat course. The peloton will open in Roskilde at 53 meters in height and finish at Nyborg at 2 meters. The course runs down quickly to near sea level, and then has a brief climb at Côte d’Asnæs Indelukke that takes the cyclists back up to 62 meters. They go back down near sea level for the final 105 kilometers of the race.

Fabio Jakobsen heads into Saturday as the favorite to win Stage 2. He has +190 odds at DraftKings Sportsbook , and is followed by Dylan Groenewegen (+500), Jasper Philipsen (+650), and then van Aert, Caleb Ewan, and Mads Pedersen (all at +750).

The 2022 Tour de France sees Slovenian prodigy Tadej Pogacar aim to win a third yellow jersey in three years, but the favourite is up against some stiff opposition.

Pogacar faces the might of the Dutch team Jumbo-Visma , who carry multiple threats including Pogacar’s national teammate Primoz Roglic and last year’s Tour runner-up, Jonas Vingegaard.

• Follow Tour de France stage 4 LIVE

Meanwhile Ineos Grenadiers are without their leading light Egan Bernal, the 2019 champion who is still recovering from injury, but they do have the in-form Geraint Thomas fresh from winning the Tour de Suisse, Colombian climber Dani Martinez, as well as potential stage winners Adam Yates and Tom Pidcock.

This race began in Copenhagen and finishes in Paris on Sunday 24 July. The Tour usually begins on Saturday but the transfer from this year’s opening three stages in Copenhagen to northern France meant an early rest day and a Friday start to accommodate it.

Stage 3 start time

The stage is scheduled to begin at around 12:15pm BST and should finish around 4:15pm BST.

How to watch on TV and online

Tour de France coverage can be found this year on ITV4, Eurosport, Discovery+ and GCN+ (Global Cycling Network).

Live racing each day will be shown on ITV4 before highlights typically at 7pm each day. ITV’s website lists timings here .

Eurosport and GCN+ will show every minute of every stage. More on Eurosport’s coverage here and the GCN+ coverage here .

It is also being shown on Eurosport’s Discovery+ streaming service, with broadcast info here .

Stage 4 route and profile

The first stage in France couldn’t get much close to Britain, and fans might take the opportunity to nip across the Channel. There are five category four climbs dotted through the stage but nothing sharp enough to deter the sprinters, so long as they can keep up with any early breakaway. Strong winds could be a factor, too.

1. etape af Tour de Pologne

Jonas Vingegaard blev nr. 4 på den første bjergetape i Tour de Pologne og vandt tid på sine værste rivaler, mens supertalentet Thibau Nys leverede en magtdemonstration og tog en suveræn etapesejr.

Tak for i dag!

Der kommer desværre ingen reaktion fra Nys, så jeg vil lukke ned for nu. I aften skriver jeg en optakt til morgendagens enkeltstart, som jeg dækker fra kl. 14.45. Hvis jeg når det, kommer der også en kort optakt til Tour du Limousin. I kan allerede læse optakt til PostNord Danmark Rundt og den store analyse af Vuelta-ruten . Endelig kan I sidst på aftenen forhåbentlig finde grundige beskrivelser af alle Vuelta-etaper.

Tak for en god dansk åbning i Polen!

Stærk dansk dag

Det var en flot dansk dag. Fuglsang bekræftede den fine form fra Touren med en forrygende top 10, og Mikkel Honoré viser med en 12. plads, at han er tilbage på sporet!

Vingegaards favoritstatus styrket

Vingegaards favoritstatus er styrket. Jeg er ikke stensikker på, at han slår Sheffield i morgen, men er der problemer, regner jeg med, at de har en god chance for at knække ham på lørdagens stejle stigning.

Fin start for Vingegaard

Det var bestemt ikke nogen ringe start for Vingegaard. Selv i Tour-form havde han aldrig slået Nys i denne finale. Havde han været 100%, var han sikkert blevet nr. 2, men det var meget bedre end i San Sebastian, og han vandt tid på alle de tempostærke folk. I top 10 er det faktisk Kelderman, der er mest farlig for ham i morgen.

Sheffield kom stærkt ind som nr. 13 og ligner som ventet manden, han skal slås med (sammen med Kelderman), men det var vigtigt, at UAEs tempospecialister floppede. Jeg så ingen Wellens eller Grossschartner.

Interessant Visma-taktik

Det var en ret interessant måde at bruge Kelderman på, og det var tæt på at lykkes. Til sidste levede Nys imidlertid op til sin favoritstatus med det, man kun kan kalde en magtdemonstration. Med sit eminente antrit kørte han let forbi Kelderman, og han vandt helt suverænt. Hvor er han vild i denne slags finaler! Talentfulde Nerurkar bekræftede også, at han er forrygende i denne slags afslutninger.

Blandt andre Foss og Onley kommer i mål langt fra de bedste.

Nys blæser forbi Kelderman. Nerurkar er med.Længere tilbage kommer Vingegaard. Han henter Kelderman.

Men Nys vinder suverænt!
