Jonas Vingegaard is looking to repeat a «special» win as he bids to defend his Tour de France title. The anticipation for the 2023 edition has been building for some time, and the Basque Country got a look at all the riders when they were presented on Thursday evening. Ad As defending champion, Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma were the last of the men’s teams to take to the stage — with the focus on the Dane.
The long wait is over; the riders are gathering in Bilbao and the 110th edition of the Tour de France is almost upon us. Two stages in the Basque Country are followed by an undulating coastal schlep over the French border to Bayonne for the first of what could be eight frantic sprint finishes.
Tadej Pogacar and Adam Yates will be co-leaders for UAE Team Emirates at the Tour de France, general manager Mauro Gianetti has revealed. In a surprising move, Pogacar — a two-time winner of the Tour and arguably cycling's standout all-round performer — has been given equal status with Yates, in a decision that has its roots in the Slovenian's crash at Liege-Bastogne-Liege back in April, which has seen him miss large swathes of training ahead of the Tour. Ad Yates, who has a best of fourth at the Tour in 2016, joined UAE from Ineos Grenadiers last September.

BILBAO, SPAIN: Cycling’s all time great sprinter Mark Cavendish has nothing to prove except perhaps to himself as he embarks on his final Tour de France on Saturday.
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.
