Twenty-two teams of eight riders have descended upon Bilbao for the grand depart of the 2023 Tour de France – including 18 WorldTour outfits and four UCI ProTeams.

INEOS Grenadiers have confirmed that 2019 Tour De France winner Egan Bernal is back in their squad for his first Grand Tour since his horrific injury in 2022. Bernal hasn’t raced at a Grand Tour since the 2021 Vuelta a Espana but after recovering from his serious injuries he is part of an interesting INEOS line-up. Ad Rising British and Spanish stars Tom Pidcock and Carlos Rodriguez are the nominal General Classification contenders although neither are expected to seriously fight for yellow this early in their careers.

Tadej Pogacar marked his return from injury with a dominant time-trial victory at the Slovenian championships on Thursday as the UAE Team Emirates star began his belated preparations for next month's Tour de France.

Two-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar believes that his wrist fracture from a crash occurred at an opportune moment for the 2023 Tour.

However, the well-timed accident provided him with a much-needed period of rest prior to his pursuit of a third Tour de France triumph.
