The Classic Channel 4 Tour de France TV Theme as a Ringtone!

I grew up in the 1980s and my first experience of the Tour de France was with the 1/2 hour highlight shows on Channel 4 (here in the UK).

And the theme tune to those highlights was truly ‘ear-conic’! (No current cycling theme tune get close…)

Well, now you can re-live some classic Tour de France memories with the original Channel 4 Tour de France TV Theme Tune ringtone.

There are two versions, a full length one (33 secs) and a shorter one (22 secs); and they’re available as MP3s or iPhone (M4R) ringtones.

  3. Just found this: brilliant, am all set for this year’s Tour now! Like others have commented, I grew up with the mid 80s C4 coverage with Phil and Paul and this tune will forever take me back there…happy memories!
    I’d been looking for ways of making a ringtone of this and getting tied in knots before having the genius idea of seaching to see if someone else had already done it! So thank you
