NBC Sports' Live Coverage Of 105th Tour De France Concludes This Weekend On NBC & NBCSN

NBC Sports concludes its record 365+ hours of live, primetime, and encore coverage of the 105th Tour de France, across NBC, NBCSN, and the NBC Sports Gold app this weekend. NBCSN presents live coverage of the three remaining stages, with Stage 19 tomorrow, Friday, July 27, at 7:30 am ET, and Stage 20 on Saturday, July 28, at 7:30 am ET before finishing on Paris' Champs-Élysées Sunday, July 29, at 9:30 am ET. In addition, NBC will present encore coverage of Stage 20 Saturday at 5 p.m. ET. NBCSN's coverage continues tonight at 8 p.m. ET on NBCSN with Tour Primetime.

Geraint Thomas holds a 1:59 lead for the yellow jersey over second-place Tom Dumoulin, and three-time defending champion Chris Froome in third. The final stages will consist of a mountain stage on Friday, a time trial on Saturday, and Sunday's finale in Paris.

Tonight's Tour Primetime will include interview with Thomas and green jersey holder Peter Sagan, who was injured in a crash yesterday. The show will also feature a complete recap of Stage 18, and an edition of "Ask Bobke," where analyst Bob Roll will explain the benefits of riders lunging at the line, and whether or not multiple yellow jerseys are created each day in case there is a new leader. In addition, Roll and analyst Christian Vande Velde will preview tomorrow's Stage 19.
