Who commentates on cycling at Olympics? Chris Boardman and Jill Douglas form part of BBC's Tokyo 2020 coverage

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics is being exclusively aired by the BBC, with a host of big sports personalities signed up to present and commentate.

The line-up includes some of the most well-known figures in sports broadcasting, including Gabby Logan, Clare Balding and Dan Walker on presenting duties.

Alongside stars of broadcasting, some of team GB’s Olympians, including Chris Hoy and Matthew Pinsent, will be presenting.

Instead of having a studio in Tokyo itself, the BBC will be airing the majority of its coverage from its Salford base due to the ongoing pandemic.

These are the people who’ll be presenting and commentating on cycling at the Olympics, along with the main presenters for other sports.
