The prestigious Tour de France continues with stage 8 on July 6, starting at 8 a.m. EST and broadcast on NBC, FuboTV, or DirecTV Stream. Peacock will cover every stage, with plans starting at $5.99 a month. The stage will take cyclists to Colombey-les-Deux-Eglises, the home of former French President Charles de Gaulle.
This year’s Tour features four summit finishes and two time trials, including a climb up Cime de la Bonette, the highest-altitude summit in modern Tour history at 2,802 meters. Danish rider Jonas Vingegaard won the 2023 Tour and aims for a third consecutive victory, a feat not achieved since Chris Froome.
The standings through stage 7 show Tadej Pogacar in the yellow jersey, Biniam Girmay in the green jersey for sprinters, Jonas Abrahamsen leading climbers, and Remco Evenepoel in the white jersey for young riders. Fans can watch the Tour de France on various streaming services and purchase tickets through StubHub, SeatGeek, or VividSeats with a $20 discount for new customers using the code MassLive20.
The Tour de France will end before the Paris Olympics, breaking tradition by not finishing in the “City of Light” and concluding with a time trial for the first time since 1989. The race is expected to be highly competitive, showcasing the best cyclists from around the world.
