Coverage from France will again be led by Matthew Keenan and David McKenzie, who celebrate 20 years of calling the Tour for Australian audiences. Dr Bridie O’Donnell and Simon Gerrans will also provide expert analysis across the three week event.
The 2026 Tour de France promises plenty of storylines, with reigning superstar Tadej Pogačar chasing a fifth title that would place him among the race’s all time greats.
Australian hopes will also rest with riders including Jai Hindley, Ben O’Connor, Michael Storer and Luke Durbridge in his final professional season.
Meanwhile, the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift returns for its fifth edition, featuring a record breaking 1,175 kilometre route across Switzerland and France.
