Tour de France live stream: how to watch every 2019 cycling stage online from anywhere

Having negotiated their way out of Belgium, it now feels like we're into the 2019 Tour de France proper. From here, and for the next few weeks, the riders will go over cobbles, up mountains and through the beautiful French countryside. Geraint Thomas, as defending champion, will have to work hard this year with tough competition from all sides. Luckily for you, it's a much easier task to live stream Tour de France cycling action from wherever you are in the world by simply reading on.

The 2019 Tour de France is looking like an exceptionally exciting one as there is no clear favourite with lots of strong riders out this year. There's no Tom Dumoulin and four-time champ Chris Froome may be out after a horrific crash shortly before Le Tour started, but the latter's Ineos teammate and current champion Geraint Thomas has started strongly.

All in all there is a very open road this year that could make for some fantastic battles. The chance to win is more within reach than ever for some who may have not stood a chance otherwise. Keep your eyes peeled for Team Ineos' up-and-coming Egan Bernal, the 2014 winner Vincenzo Nibali and Richie Porte, Romain Bardet, Thibaut Pinot and Nairo Quintana. While Julian Alaphilippe is giving the home crowd something to cheer early on, spending plenty of time in the famous maillot jeune.

You can watch a 2019 Tour de France live stream from wherever you are in the world...here's how.
