Eurosport is to provide one of the most
comprehensive broadcasts of the Tour de France in history, with
over 80 hours of LIVE and prime-time viewing.
Eurosport's telecast
of the great race will include broadcast of the prologue and all
20 stages LIVE across Asia from 30 June to 22 July 2012, including
coverage of the not-to-be missed famous winner's stage along the
Champs Elysées in Paris on Sunday, 22 July, as well the
traditional team presentation today - Friday, 29 June.
In
addition to the in-race coverage, Eurosport will provide daily
previews and reviews from the start and finish line,
access to behind the scenes as well as up to the minute reporting
from each stage.
The 99th staging of the tour, which starts
in Liege in Belgium on Saturday, 30 June, will wind 3,497km through
the French countryside, encompassing four mid-mountain stages,
five high mountain stages and two individual time trials.
When asked
to comment on this year's Tour de France, Deputy General Secretary
of the Hong Kong Cycling Association, two-time Olympic cyclist and
Eurosport TV commentator Hung Chung Yam said, "This is one of the
toughest races on the cycling calendar and always has great
stories that show exactly how hard this event is. This year is no
different and I know every team, every rider will be looking
forward to the start and finish of each stage of the race. Being the pinnacle of the cycling year, I want all
amateur cyclists in Hong Kong to take note that these professional
cyclists all wear helmets when riding in the Tour de France. I
implore all cyclists in Hong Kong to adopt helmet wearing too!"
Eurosport's broadcast of the prologue and
all 20 stages of the race LIVE will commence
nightly (Hong Kong time) in the Asia region. A replay of each
of the stages will be screened the following day in the afternoon.
