ITV will bring viewers extensive live coverage of the 103rd Tour de France, which begins on Saturday July 2 at Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy.

Presenter Gary Imlach is joined by Chris Boardman as usual, whilst commentators Ned Boulting and David Millar will work together on their first Tour in that capacity.

Our reporter Daniel Friebe is also a new addition to the team for the 21-stage race, which visits Andorra and Switzerland before ending at its traditional home, the Champs-Elysees in Paris, on Sunday July 24. Daniel will work in tandem with our experienced reporter Matt Rendell to unearth the best Tour stories as they happen.

It is the seventh time ITV4 has screened daily live coverage and extended highlights of the Tour, with a total of 70 hours of live cycling to be shown during the event. It is part of ITV’s deal to show cycling’s showpiece event until 2019.
