The ongoing demise of free-to-air cycling in the UK was discussed in a debate in Parliament on Wednesday morning, with Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty calling the loss of Eurosport and the upcoming loss of the Tour de France from free-to-air television "a metaphor for the crisis that has befallen professional cycling in the UK."
Eurosport and Discovery+, which following the closure of GCN+, aired major races throughout the cycling calendar for £6.99 per month, were shut down at the end of February and folded into the Warner Bros. Discovery TNT Sports network. A monthly subscription to access the same races now costs £30.99 per month.
