Fans turning to Discovery+ in the UK to watch the Tour de France on Saturday had a surprise, with the ordinary ad-free stream no longer available.
In recent years, TV viewers subscribing to Eurosport, GCN+ or now Discovery+ have had the option online to watch races in full, without ads, without missing a second. For the 2025 Tour, while fans can watch the whole race live without ads via the new quad screen feature, it is not the ordinary stream, with the kilometres to go ticker.
