Tour De France 2012: Television Schedule and Times for Stage 5 and Beyond

The 2012 Tour de France has been an absolutely amazing event, and fortunately, it will continue on for over two more weeks.

Things should only get even more exciting from here on out, which is exactly why you need to tune in and catch the Stage 5 action on Thursday and continue watching through the conclusion of the race on July 22.

Fabian Cancellara is the leader of the race and has been for nearly the entire time. He’s been making little to no mistakes, which is extremely impressive. Cancellara is maintaining a slight lead over Bradley Wiggins and Sylvain Chavanel, and it will be interesting to see if he can hold on.

Let’s take a look at the current leaderboard and television schedule for the remainder of the 2012 Tour de France:
