What’s happening to cycling on TV in the UK? Explaining the Eurosport closure, TNT Sports, pricing, and how to watch

This week marks a momentous development in terms of cycling on TV in the UK. Eurosport is about to be no more, and you’re about to have to pay a whole lot more, if you want to keep watching anything that’s not the Tour de France. 

On Friday, the lights go off and Eurosport will cease to broadcast on UK television, after more than 35 years. Cycling will move over to TNT Sports, which is going to require a more expensive television package or streaming subscription.
