With 70 hours of live cycling to be shown during the event, there’s plenty of action still to come, and we’ve got all the information you need to stay up to date.

It’s easy to watch online. ITV has the rights to show the event until 2019, so this year, all the coverage is being shown on ITV 4.

Which means you can watch live online by heading over to the ITV Hub during the coverage and hitting the play button. It’s as simple as that.
