Tadej Pogacar’s quest to write yet more cycling history begins on Saturday 4 July as he aims to equal the record of five Tour de France victories.
The two-time world champion currently sits level on four titles with the now-retired Chris Froome, and will face competition from double Tour winner and recent Giro d’Italia champion Jonas Vingegaard, as well as former Vuelta champion Remco Evenepoel and young starlet Paul Seixas, who carries the weight of the home nation’s expectations on his shoulders at his debut Grand Tour.
