A gap in the TV listings represents a large hole for those who loved its cycling, snooker and tennis output
After a scenic ride through the winding lanes between Marín and A Estrada, a 36-year journey reached its close. The last winner ever to grace British and Irish Eurosport was Magnus Cort, whose dominant second stage victory in O Gran Camiño was enough to leave fans wanting plenty more. “Another great moment,” acclaimed the commentary, but it would be the final one on a channel that had become cycling’s home.
Eurosport’s farewell at around 2am on Friday came with little fanfare. Cort’s victory blended into a recurring advert promoting the integration into TNT Sports and the Discovery+ streaming platform, where the pick of its offerings will now reside. “Eurosport channels in the UK and Ireland have now closed,” advised a voice above reels of skiers, cyclists, rugby players, footballers and motocross riders. “The sports you love have moved to TNT Sports”.
