I'd rather not watch than pay £31 for 21 days": Just 18% of road.cc readers
to watch Tour de France on TNT Sports, as UK fans say farewell to ITV's free-to-air coverage

TNT Sports, requiring a £30.99-a-month subscription and ending the summer tradition of free coverage and highlights on ITV

£30.99-a-month to watch.
