The Tour de France begins today with a rare opportunity for the fast men to seize hold of the coveted yellow jersey, on what will no doubt be a frenetic Grand Depart to the year’s most prestigious race.
This year’s Tour is a chance for Tadej Pogacar to make history as only the sixth rider at the Tour de France to claim four yellow jerseys after he triumphed in 2020, 2021 and 2024. “It’s been a great season, so far perfect,” he said this week. “And going here to the Tour as one of the favourites, it's an honour. I’m pleased and I hope I can live up to the expectations.”
