You can follow all the action on Tour de France stage 20 LIVE throughout the day in our live report, but for a live broadcast, there are also plenty of options.

The high mountain action may have ended but it'll be well worth tuning in, with a route that could see breakaway fireworks from start to finish. The penultimate stage of the Tour de France, when not in the mountains, often goes the way of the break hunters, with such depleted resources among the sprinters' teams, and desperation among the teams yet to get anything out of the race.

Tadej Pogaćar wears the yellow jersey and is expected to come through without trouble to ride into Paris in yellow on Sunday.
