The 111th edition of the world-famous Tour de France starts June 29 in Florence, Italy. This year, the grueling 21-stage bike race takes place over 2,175 miles (3,500 kilometers) across Italy and France.
Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar of UAE Team Emirates is widely considered the favorite to win, having won the yellow jersey in 2020 and 2021 and finished second the past two years. Part of Pogačar's success comes down to Iñigo San Millán, who coached the champion cyclist for years as UAE Team Emirates' head of performance.
