This Tour de France fascinates the French. France Télévisions, official broadcaster of this Tour de France, has indeed recorded its best audiences since 2006. The group has indeed announced that 3.7 million viewers on average were ahead of France 2 and France 3 in this first week of the race.
In total, nearly 30 million people have tuned into France Télévisions since the start of the Tour de France, with a peak of 8 million spectators for the arrival of the ninth stage, Sunday at the puy de Dôme which saw Canadian Michael Woods win after a resounding comeback at the very end of the race.
The Pogacar-Vingegaard duel attracts attention
Sunday, the duel between Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard, the two favorites for the yellow jersey, took place on a mythical summit: the puy de Dôme, which the Tour had not visited since 1988. A return to the lands of Raymond Poulidor who moved his grandson, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), 80th overall.
The Slovenian and the Dane surrender blow for blow, and their clash on the roads of the Great Loop is a soap opera that fascinates every day. On Sunday, Pogacar grabbed a few seconds from his rival Vingegaard in the general classification thanks to an acceleration in the last kilometers. But the Dane kept his yellow jersey and is 17 seconds ahead of Pogacar.
This edition of the Tour de France may also have gained followers thanks to the Netflix series broadcast a few weeks before the big start: “At the heart of the peloton”, which tells the inside story of the tension of the Tour.
