TNT Sports deal for Grand Tour highlights partially true
“5 have picked up free-to-air highlights rights for the Cycling Grand Tours including the Tour de France after a deal with TNT Sports. Deal will last until 2028.”
Summary
Channel 5 has indeed acquired free‑to‑air highlights rights for the Tour de France, Vuelta a España and Giro d’Italia through a deal with TNT Sports. The highlights for the Tour and Vuelta run until 2028, but the Giro agreement extends to 2029, so the claim that the deal lasts until 2028 is only correct for two of the three Grand Tours.
