Eurosport cycling expert Philippe Gilbert believes that Team Jumbo-Visma should attack Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) early at the Tour de France to test the Slovenian.
Pogacar and Jumbo superstar Jonas Vingegaard come into the second Grand Tour of the year as the heavy favourites for the yellow jersey.
Pogacar won back to back General Classification titles in 2020 and 2021 before Vingegaard prevented him from completing the hat-trick in 2022.
Ad But there are doubts over Pogacar coming into the Tour after he broke his wrist in a crash at Liege-Bastogne-Liege earlier this year, meaning he only returned to racing the weekend just gone at the Slovenian National Championships.
