Matt Rendell's Inside Stories of the Tour de France

CARLISLE TOUR DE FRANCE NIGHT, 10 FEBRUARY 2026: ITV Tour de France commentator Matt Rendell shares stories and reflections from his 25 years’ covering cycling - and his dealings with the sport's big names from Eddy Merckx to Bradley Wiggins, Mark Cavendish to Chris Froome.

In an illuminating and entertaining evening for Tour fans old and new, Matt will reflect on his first-hand experiences of the biggest races on the calendar, recall bizarre/hilarious personal stories from his maverick career and serve up thought-provoking ideas about the future (and history) of the sport.

Matt Rendell will be in conversation with former Procycling writer Duncan Steer, host of the sell-out show with Eurosport TDF commentator Carlton Kirby at the Old Fire Station in 2024. There will be a chance to ask your own questions. Tickets are £16.
