Cycling on CBS is the de facto name for broadcasts of multiple-stage bicycle races produced by CBS Sports, the sports division of the CBS television network. CBS was notably the first[2] American television network to provide coverage of the Tour de France.[3] CBS also provided coverage of Paris–Roubaix during the 1980s.
