Singapore – Eurosport remains the place to be for all passionate cycling fans. Exclusive and extended Giro d’Italia coverage and additional races have been confirmed from 2017, meaning cycling fans can enjoy over 200 days of live cycling on Eurosport in 2017.
The news follows a new long-term agreement covering all major Italian races, Flanders Classics and a number of Tour events around the world. The races form part of an unrivalled calendar of cycling on Eurosport, including all three of the Grand Tours and all five Monuments.
Fans can look forward to the first Grand Tour of the season and all major Italian races, including Il Lombardia and Milano-San Remo, the first classic of the season, on Eurosport. For the Giro d’Italia, the new agreement includes more coverage than ever before and four hours of every stage live. The new four-year extension offers more exclusivity* to Eurosport in Australia and Europe, as well as including a wide range of additional races available on Eurosport. The new races now available exclusively include the six Flanders Classics single-stage races – including the iconic World Tour race Gent-Wevelgem – Tour of Romandie, Tour of Britain, Tour of Utah and Tour of Alberta.
Eurosport secured rights for this cycling package through IMG, a global leader in sports, events, media and fashion. The agreement will mean Eurosport’s annual coverage of the Giro d’Italia will pass twenty years, having first shown the race in 1998.
