Sport tv channels and cycling

[katytrott]

Hi there,

We're off to Orlando tomorrow am, and being big cycling fans, we're wondering if there is a tv channel we can keep up with the Tour de France on? In the uk we have a highlight programme each eve for each day's events and was wondering if there is a similar programme in the US? I would be grateful if someone could tell me the number that the channel is that we go to (eg sky sports channel 135) as I know we've struggled finding channels in the past when in the US, just because it's different to what we're used to!

Many thanks

I have been watching the Tour de France on NBC Sports. I don't know if they'll have that channel or not where you are staying. The channel numbers, and available channels, are all different depending on where in the USA you are, and what each cable provider (or hotel) chooses to offer. But if you can get NBC Sports you will be able to watch several hours of the Tour every night!

We get the Tour de France on NBC sports,sometimes its live,other times its recorded but they probably have like 8 hours daily.Tomorrow for example it shows it live from 7am to noon and then highlights from 8pm till 11pm.The only issue is will they have this channel where you will be staying,ESPN will be pretty much guaranteed but all you'll get there is minimal highlights during sports center,NBC sports has hours and hours of coverage but I believe it's more limited as far as if you'll get it where you're staying.
