British interest in the 2009 Tour de France will be sky-high this year with Isle of Man sprint ace Mark Cavendish attempting to beat his tally of four stage wins at last year's race.
Garmin-Slipstream Brits Bradley Wiggins and David Millar will also be out to excel in the time trial stages, and perhaps go for the odd breakaway win or two.
With such big interest, coverage of the 2009 Tour on British television is comprehensive, with Eurosport and ITV4 both covering the race with a mixture of live footage and compact highlights shows.
Below we list when you can watch the Tour on TV.
