The Tour de France is undoubtedly the biggest event on the cycling calendar. Held over 21 race days across three weeks, the world's best riders descend on France looking to make their mark. The likes of Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) are expected to battle it out for the overall win in 2023 after their thrilling tussle last year, while Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan) arrives with a mission of winning a record 35th stage.

UAE Team Emirates and their champion rider Tadej Pogacar will be looking to reinforce their position at the pinnacle of cycling when they begin defence of the Tour de France title on July 1.
