After a few months of delay due to the coronavirus, the Tour de France finally starts today! With these four apps you stay informed of all developments.
1. Official Tour de France App
Of course, like any major sporting event, the Tour de France has its own app. It is very complete. You can see all the rides and follow riders live with GPS. You also check the results, (intermediate) positions or the gap between the leading group and the peloton. Photos are available of every ride and highlights can be viewed in a daily video.
The official Tour de France app is therefore packed with information, which is also clearly presented. The app is free to download.
2. Tour Tracker Grand Tours
Tour Tracker Grand Tours looks simpler than the official app, but contains just as much information. You can follow live reports of the stages, view standings per jersey and view detailed maps of the routes.
Fantasy Cycling is an important part of Tour Tracker Grand Tours. Here you can put together your own team, with riders who you think will score highly in the Tour. Then you compete with other users. An old-fashioned pool. It is also possible to set up a competition with, for example, your colleagues.
Tour Tracker Grand Tours can be downloaded for free, but you have to pay for even more extensive reporting.
3. NOS
The NOS does not have a separate Tour de France app, but there is more than enough information about the Tour in the news app. There is even a special corner on the sports page for the Tour de France. You will find results, interviews with protagonists and maps of the stages. You can also watch the rides live in the app.
4. Cyclingoo: Tour 2020
Cyclingoo reports on all major cycling tours, including the Tour de France. The app provides highly detailed data about the riders and teams, including statistics that chart their performance. Cyclingoo also includes information about the riders’ social media, so you can easily follow your favorite cycling heroes. Of course, the app also keeps track of all trips.
Cyclingoo is free to download. For 2.49 euros you can disable the ads for a year.
