Headlining the 2023 Vuelta a España are two-time reigning Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), three-time Vuelta a España winner Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), defending Vuelta a España winner Remco Evenepoel (Deceuninck—Quick-Step), and top American Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma).

NBC SPORTS’ “UPHILL CLIMB” PRESENTED BY SHIMANO, STORY OF TRAILBLAZING WOMEN OF THE TOUR DE FRANCE IN 1980S – AVAILABLE NOW EXCLUSIVELY ON PEACOCK

By

“Uphill Climb” Presented by Shimano Companion Podcast Series Available Now on NBCSports.com/podcasts and All Major Podcast Platforms

Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift Begins Sunday, July 23, Live on Peacock; 110th Tour de France Continues with Live Coverage on Peacock — Final Round Sunday, July 23, at 10 a.m. ET Exclusively on Peacock

For Immediate Release (July 17, 2023, Los Angeles CA) – “Uphill Climb: The Women Who Conquered The Impossible Race,” presented by Shimano,  an original documentary about one of the most significant yet lesser-known stories in sports, is available now exclusively on Peacock in the United States. The story was produced in conjunction with NBC Sports, the U.S. home of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.

Additionally, an original podcast series of the same name is available now on NBCSports.com/podcasts and all major podcast platforms, featuring interviews with key women in cycling to provide further insight into the original race. European audiences can watch the documentary on Discovery Plus.

Executive Producer Allyson J. Davis, Impakt Partners, emphasizes the imperative of telling this story: “These pioneering women athletes faced enormous obstacles, dug deep, gave it their all and triumphed in the world’s toughest race, the Tour de France,” she says.  “By telling the stories of these incredible competitors from the 1980s, viewers will be able to see the current women’s live race, resurrected in 2022 after 33 years, from an entirely new perspective.”

While Greg LeMond is touted as the first American to win the Tour de France, the honor actually goes to Marianne Martin for her victory in the 1984 Tour de France Féminin. “They didn’t think women would finish the race,” recalls Martin. “That’s what we were up against.”

The racers navigated the same courses as their male counterparts, defying immense odds and shattering stereotypes of female athletes. These “hidden figures” of cycling paved the way for the return of women to the race in the 2022 Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift.

Directed by Jill Yesko, “Uphill Climb” chronicles the struggle of riders who fought for equality in cycling when then odds were stacked against them. “Uphill Climb” includes rare footage of the 1984 Tour de France Féminin, behind the scenes interviews with NBC Sports commentator, universally known as  “voice of cycling,” Phil Liggett, and narration by Kate Veronneau, Director of Women’s Strategy at Zwift — an integral figure in the return of the women’s Tour.  Says Veronneau, “By sharing stories like Uphill Climb, we connect the past with the present, raise awareness about women’s cycling and forge a path for progress.”

In less than one week, NBC Sports presents coverage of the 2023 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift beginning Sunday, July 23, with all eight stages of the race streaming live on Peacock (July 23-30). NBC Sports’ coverage of the 110th Tour de France continues across Peacock, NBC, USA Network, concluding with the final stage on Sunday, July 23, live on Peacock at 10 a.m. ET. NBC will present encore coverage of the final stage at 5 p.m. ET on Sunday.

STAMFORD, Conn. – June 15, 2023 – NBC Sports and Peacock today announced the commentating team for the 110th Tour de France, beginning Saturday, July 1, across Peacock, NBC, and USA Network.

NBC Sports’ cycling play-by-play caller Phil Liggett, universally known as the ‘voice of cycling,’ will cover his 51st Tour de France alongside analyst Bob Roll. Liggett and Roll will be on-site at each stage along with reporters Steve Porino and former professional cyclist Christian Vande Velde.

Paul Burmeister will host daily pre-race and post-race studio coverage alongside Sam Bewley and Brent Bookwalter, who make their NBC Sports debuts as cycling analysts.

Bewley, a native of Rotorua, New Zealand, retired from professional cycling at the end of 2022 after a 14-year career highlighted by nine Grand Tour starts. Bewley participated in the 2020 Tour de France as part of Orica–GreenEDGE and won bronze medals with the New Zealand men’s pursuit team at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games. He currently hosts a cycling podcast, ‘The Social Distance Podcast,’ with George Bennett and Dan Jones, and is a team director for the Israel – Premier Tech cycling team.

Bookwalter, a Michigan native, had a 16-year professional cycling career which included 10 years with BMC Racing Team (2008-18) and three years with Mitchelton-Scott (2019-21). He raced in the 2016 Rio Olympics, participated in four Tour de France races – was part of Cadel Evans’ winning 2011 team – and earned podium finishes at numerous stage races.

NBC Sports and Peacock will present full live coverage of the 110th Tour de France July 1-23, 2023. The full coverage schedule for the 2023 Tour de France will be announced soon.

In February, NBC Sports, Peacock and the Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.) announced a six-year extension for exclusive U.S. media rights for the Tour de France. Comcast/NBC Sports has served as the U.S. home of the Tour de France since 2001.

Beginning with the 111th Tour de France in June 2024, Peacock will become the exclusive home of the Tour de France in the United States through 2029 with live start-to-finish coverage of every stage. Select stages will also simulcast live on NBC throughout the three-week event. Daily coverage on Peacock will include NBC Sports-produced pre- and post-race studio shows, full-stage replays, highlights, stage recaps, rider interviews, and more.

Considered One of the Five “Monuments” of Cycling – The Oldest, Most Difficult, and Most Prestigious One-Day Races in Men’s Cycling

STAMFORD, Conn. – April 6, 2023 – NBC Sports presents live cycling coverage of the Paris-Roubaix, beginning with the women’s race this Saturday, April 8, at 9:15 a.m. ET on Peacock and continuing with live coverage of the men’s race beginning this Sunday, April 9, at 5 a.m. ET on Peacock.

The Paris-Roubaix is one of the oldest road cycling races in the world, first being competed in 1896 (the women’s race was held for the first time in 2021). Considered one of the five prestigious “Monuments” of road cycling, its cobblestone roads and mud-soaked terrain make it one of the most challenging one-day races on the circuit. The men’s race will start in Compiègne and the women’s in Denain, with both ending at the Roubaix Velodrome.

The men’s field is headlined by defending champion Dylan van Baarle (Jumbo-Visma), five-time world champion Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck), three-time world champion Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), and 2019 road race world champion Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo). The women’s field is expected to include defending champion Elisa Longo Borghini (Trek-Segafredo), Tokyo Olympian Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx), and Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM), who finished third in last year’s Tour de France.

Cycling analysts Phil Liggett and Bob Roll, a former professional cyclist who competed in three Tour de France races, will call the action live for the men’s race Sunday at 9 a.m. ET on CNBC.

The 2023 Paris-Roubaix event is part of Peacock’s robust live cycling portfolio, which includes the Tour de France, La Vuelta a España, and more. In a recently-announced extension, Peacock and NBC Sports will serve as the exclusive home of the Tour de France in the United States through 2029.

Peacock’s expansive programming features live sports coverage including Premier League, NASCAR, NTT INDYCAR SERIES, golf, MLB Sunday Leadoff, Sunday Night Football, Notre Dame Football, Big Ten football (beginning in September), Olympic sports, SuperMotocross World Championship, and much more.
