Tour de France 2024 riders and teams: Every cyclist at this year’s race

Reuters

A packed peloton of the world’s best cyclists are set to do battle across 21 stages at the 2024 Tour de France.

An historic edition sees the Grand Tour start in Italy and end with a time trial in Nice for the first time since the race’s inception.

Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard is back to defend his yellow jersey after making a swift recovery from injury to bid for a third successive general classification crown, but familiar foe Tadej Pogacar will be out to usurp his old rival having already won the Giro d’Italia this year.

Mark Cavendish, meanwhile, is set to ride his final Tour as he targets a record 35th stage win after delaying his retirement from the sport.

In all, 176 riders from 22 teams will contest the Tour, with the 18 World Tour outfits joined by four Pro Tour invitees.

Here are all of the riders and teams at this year’s race.
