Public broadcaster France Télévisions is to cover the forthcoming Tour de France cycle race in high definition. The event will have its own dedicated channel and be distributed on cable, satellite and DSL. It is also hoped that digital terrestrial capacity will be made available for carriage of the channel.
This year’s Tour de France takes place from July 7 to July 29. The cyclists will compete on a course that stretches for 3,550 kilometres.
