The Tour de France drew strong live streaming audiences to SBS On Demand. Despite the time difference, 26% of viewers tuned in to watch the race action live.

More than 57 million hours of Tour de France coverage has been consumed across SBS TV and SBS on Demand.

SBS Director of Sport, Ken Shipp, said: This was our best coverage of the Tour de France yet, as proven by the incredible audience results we've seen. I'm proud of our excellent SBS team, both on camera and behind the scenes, for delivering consistently first-class coverage that captured all the stories, exhilarating moments and that tremendous performance by Tadej Pogac ar.

Consumption of TDF content on our SBS social media channels in particular was sensational, with huge results from having a dedicated producer at the event for the first time.
